In the case of our two weeks of cooking classses held in four locations, it was chili with taco salad in a tortilla bowl, pizza and lasagna. There were classes for children, who were assisted by their mothers, and then classes for adults. Lasagna was the recipe people expressed the most enthusiasm about learning, although judging from the leftovers (none) there was considerable enthusisasm about eating all the culinary creations. 
"Gramma Eva" came to us from Westburne Alliance Church in St. Catharines to share her recipes and cooking tips and her walk with Christ with the women and children. 
The classes enabled us to make first time contact with a number of people, and also were a benefit to churches like Sayama, where we lived and ministered in the early 1990s. That church now has its own pastor and building, something we couldn't have imagined back in those early days.
