Culinary Skills
Branch Services has a growing Culinary Department. We provide and encourage 1:1 consults with a nutritionist to develop individual meal plans and grocery lists. We offer instruction in meal preparation both individually and in small groups in order to master cooking skills needed for independence. Branch Services also encourages participants to apply their culinary skills in a service business such as micro kitchens, catering and operating a cafe.
