Heritage Healthy Cooking Classes

A small and incredibly dedicated team has been providing a deep service to the Heritage UU Church community since mid-March. Core team members are Bob Drake, Jackie Drake, Marleen Johnson, Michelle Kelly, Ellie Lamb, Tracy Rossa, Julia Sandman, and Tracy Jo Small. We serve 12 to 17 families every other week. We continue to thank our amazing partner, LaSoupe, which is now located on East McMillan in Walnut Hills. Their mission is “Rescue Transform Share”. The day of the week and time will vary according to LaSoupe’s schedule.

March through May, our team prepared soups and dinners for our HUUC families. Now we rely mainly on rescued items. In the past, items from LaSoupe have included: lettuce, bananas, apples, broccoli, mangos, avocados, cabbage, leeks, limes, “lunchables,” cottage cheese, lunch meat, semi-prepared meal kits, potato salad, fruit trays, vegetable trays, chocolate milk, parmesan cheese, yogurt, onions, potatoes, squash, eggplant, avocado toast kits, breads, donuts, cakes, smoothie mix, biscuits, whole cooked turkeys, shredded carrots, rainbow carrots, celery, eggs, cheese, cookies, pears, brussels sprouts, zucchini, kale, beans and more (not all in one week).

The raised beds at HUUC are producing small, but lovely, amounts of peppers, beets, lettuce, arugula, carrots, beet greens, mint, kale, sage, thyme, dill, peas, tomatoes and radishes. We are able to include fresh, organic produce from our gardens in some of the food baskets each week. Some weeks the baskets contain herbs and vegetables from the gardens of Marleen Johnson, Lisa Prantl, Julia Sandman, and Tracy Jo Small.

This food is available for ANYONE. The food baskets are free of charge.

If you have produce to contribute to the food baskets, please email Tracy Jo at:

Huge thanks go to all our other contributors: the Eury family, Kerry and Jim Larson, Rebecca Pace, John Sandman, and Michelle Wilhite. The Caring Circle does much of the coordinating and delivering.

Mission Statement: Heritage Healthy Cooking Classes encourages people from all walks of life to think about where their food comes from. We believe that nutritious food should be available to all people every day. We provide basic culinary skills to empower people to cook healthy, simple foods with less waste. We teach people how to cook thoughtfully with love and care for themselves and the environment, to help them realize the importance of being present while eating and sharing food with others.

Heritage Healthy Cooking Classes Enter their 7th Year!

We are excited to expand and grow each and every year. Thank you to Heritage UU Church for your continued support of this vital ministry. “And service is our prayer” is seen in each class. We are now receiving surplus food supplies from LaSoupe in Newtown for each class.

The year 2020 will see monthly classes at Heritage with at-risk teens from the Villedge. We will hold summer classes again for the New Richmond Boys and Girls Club and Artsy Fartsy. Our team of volunteers is essential to the success of these classes. Deep gratitude to each and every team member. To volunteer your time, contact:

Indian Cuisine Cooking Class: An Ayurvedic Adventure

Wednesday, February 6, 2019, at 6:00 p.m.

$40 per person. Connect with Tracy Jo at the email at the end of this article, or buy tickets online at the Facebook event page.

This class is fundraiser for the Heritage Healthy Cooking Classes which have been teaching those with food insecurities since 2014.

Join us as Tracy Jo Duckworth teaches some basic Ayurvedic techniques and recipes that you can easily create in your own kitchen. Class size is small-just 16 students, please register early. Your $40 ticket includes the 2 hour class, recipes and a sumptuous meal and it might be tax-deductible!

In this informative and interactive class, you will learn dishes that are rooted in India’s age-old culinary traditions yet adapted to today’s kitchen and lifestyle. Entrees are wholesome, healthy authentic and made with ingredients that you can purchase easily. Mostly vegan with a little chicken and dairy. Ayurvedic translates into “knowledge of life” and is a 4,000-year-old system of well-being that originated in India. Ayurveda views the human being as intimately connected with the environment and all other life forms. It prescribes various methods of synchronizing ourselves – physically and psychically – with the world around us, placing great emphasis on diet and the specific attributes of different foods.

Heritage Healthy Cooking Classes

Tuesday, July 24, 2018, at 11:00 a.m., will be the cooking day. RSVP to assist.

Monday, 23, at 1:00 p.m., will be prep the day.

In July, Heritage UU Church will once again host Healthy Cooking Classes with the Boys and Girls Club of New Richmond. This is done as part of our food justice ministry, from the conviction that access to healthy food is a human rights issue.

These classes are designed for those in need to gain the basic cooking skills that can enable them to make healthier and more economical food choices. The meal that we serve after each class is truly a time of radical hospitality.

The first class in July took place on July 17, 2018.

For more information, please see Tracy Jo Small, or email her at:

Heritage Healthy Cooking Class

The next Heritage Healthy Cooking Class is Monday, March 13th, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. We are partnering with the Boys and Girls Club of New Richmond. Food justice starts from the conviction that access to healthy food is a human rights issue!

Update on 3/8/2017: Message from Tracy Jo: “I have had so many wonderful offers for help with the cooking classes. Please do not advertise the “need help” part right now. What a beautiful community we belong to – turning people away who want to help! We are blessed!”

Like Cooking? Like Sleeping? Have We Got Some Jobs for You!

Cheese CasseroleThe Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) relies on volunteers like us to provide food and shelter to families who are temporarily homeless. The next day for Heritage people to help is Tuesday, September 6.

We already have a family who has volunteered to be the Activity Hosts that night. (Thank you!) What we need are some volunteers to be Dinner Hosts and Overnight Hosts.

Two households often work together to be Dinner Hosts. They plan out an evening meal, buy the ingredients, cook it at home and/or at the First Unitarian Church kitchen, then lay out the food buffet style and eat with our homeless guests. They also clean up afterwards.

We also need one male and one female adult to be Overnight Hosts. Bob Lamb calls this “The easiest job at IHN – just show up with your sleeping bag and sleep!” There is a little more to it than that, but not much. Overnight hosts each get their own room, and the sleeping bags go on top of mattresses, so it isn’t too bad. Overnight hosts need to have a background check, so please volunteer early to allow time for this.

All of these jobs are needed to help families who are trying to regain some stability in their lives, and it is a great way to make a small but meaningful difference in the world.

You can read more about the overall program of the Interfaith Hospitality Network.

To volunteer or if you have questions, please see Rae Jane Araujo.
