Grab Amanda's Book!
Kitchen Confidence is a guidebook that I created as my final capstone project for graduate school. The aim of this guidebook is to teach individuals how to cook nutritious meals and reduce food waste at home. Information regarding food safety, food storage, meal planning and grocery shopping and label reading tips are included.
I am looking donate the books to food banks, WIC clinics and SNAP recipients. If you are a company and interested in sponsoring the guidebook please contact me!
