MTEC Teens and Mayor Get Cooking Lessons

  Mayor Gary Christenson along with the students from the Malden Teen Enrichment Center (MTEC) learned to cook burgers, veggie burgers and vegetables during their weekly cooking class. The group is led by Community Garden Coordinator Julie Mangan, who teaches the students everything from basic kitchen safety to how to prepare meals. The effort is part of MTEC’s goals to teach teens to cook, eat, shop healthier and to be self-sufficient.
