The Fountain Hills Community Garden is offering a healthy cooking class Saturday, March 2, at 11 a.m.

The cooking class is part of the Healing Foods Series held monthly at the Garden Pavilion.

The cooking class is led by Chef- Owner Carolyn Redendo from Sofrita, who will cook up healthy Puerto Rican dishes.

The beauty of Puerto Rico is not just in the geography but in the state of being, a press release said of the event. It’s about generosity, the sharing of good spirit and good food.

Sofrita is about the celebration of all things beautiful – the celebration of life, the release continued. Sofrita is about having a full heart and a full stomach.

This class is free to Community Garden members and open to the public for $5

Additionally, Friends of the Garden annual memberships are sold at the event.

Yearly memberships are $20.

A monthly cooking demonstration is held every first Saturday of the month.
