Join individuals from Saratoga Bridges as they take cooking lessons with Patrice at Serendipity Arts Studio in Saratoga Springs. The classes teach basic food preparation and cooking techniques to increase independent living skills. As a result, they are learning healthy choices, trying new foods, gaining confidence, working together, encouraging each other and most of all having a whole lot fun.
