Crockpot cooking classes for Purdue faculty, staff and students

The Demonstration Kitchen at the Córdova Recreational Sports Center strives to make cooking accessible to everyone by demonstrating delicious recipes and menus that are quick, easy and affordable. New this fall, the kitchen will offer Crockpot Complete Meals for Four starting Friday (Sept. 8).
