Cooking demonstration. Numerous successful multi-component interventions with the aim of reducing overweight and obesity have used cooking demonstrations as part of their programming. These cooking demonstrations offered residents the opportunity to obtain nutrition education as well as to shape social norms around healthful food practices among friends/family/neighbors. A common theme of our cooking demonstrations was tailoring recipes to fit the targeted cultural context. Prior to the Healthy Families project, nearly all residents and management at targeted developments reported a desire to bring cooking classes to their neighborhoods as they were thought of as family-friendly activities and positive social functions in which neighbors could get together and work towards a common goal. The cooking demonstrations were held four times per development, led by a Registered Dietitian, and promoted beforehand by the HLAs using flyers and word of mouth, as well as via social media. The dietitian compiled a number of culturally diverse recipes which included foods that were available for purchase from the Fresh Food Truck and were SNAP eligible and WIC approved. At each demonstration, the dietitian prepared two recipes and provided nutrition education on a number of topics such as whole grains and sodium reduction.
