On February 14, 2019, Mac’s Money Centre and the Student Success Centre partnered with McMaster’s Hospitality Services to bring students together by creating healthy and budget friendly meals. Throughout the event, our money coaches, award winning chefs, and certified nutritionist provided helpful tips on grocery shopping, meal-prep, creating “planned-overs”, and nutrition facts. In this free interactive cooking event, students learned how to cook Pad Thai and Spring Rolls while staying on a student-friendly budget.
