To show a loving appreciation for healthcare workers, Prep & Pastry is hosting a free virtual cooking class at 5 p.m on Wednesday, June 24.
If you’re a nurse, dentist, or anyone that’s been working nonstop in the healthcare field, you’re invited to take a break and join the fun that cooking often brings. In this class, you’ll be learning to make granola bars, which is limited to just 600 spots.
If you’re interested, register as soon as you can. In the event that all of the spots aren’t filled, anyone who isn’t a healthcare worker can join for free, too.
“Nurses are on their feet all day so we thought it would be fun to show them how to make a granola bar that they can take to work,” said Prep & Pastry and Commoner & Co. partner, Nathan Ares. “Like their very own KIND Bar.”
Additionally, Summit Funding and Bourn Companies will be providing grocery bags filled with the following ingredients needed to participate.

Matt Sterner
More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
