The class will meet from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Wednesdays of Sept. 5, 12, 19 and 26, in the Snohomish Health District auditorium, located at 3020 Rucker Ave. in Everett.

The curriculum covers proper cooking, hot- and cold-holding, and cooling of potentially hazardous foods, as well as cross-contamination prevention, staff training tips, and hygiene and sanitation practices.
