Nutritionists at The Giant Company, the Carlisle, Pa.-based operator of 190 supermarkets, will be offering a series of free virtual cooking classes to help consumers combat “meal fatigue,” as the continuing coronavirus pandemic and cooking and eating at home challenge shoppers to come up with fresh ideas for dinner.
