Community Cooking & Basic Nutrition Workshops

 

Our community based cooking workshops and nutrition classes for young people and adults can be delivered over several weeks or as a ‘one off’ session. Participants learn about healthy eating and work together to prepare simple, healthy and economical dishes.

 

A typical workshop lasts for 1.5 hours, for a maximum of 16 participants. The food prepared is taken away or eaten at the end of the session.

 

The sessions cover a variety of topics, such as:

 

• Basic food preparation skills (knife skills, rubbing in method, bread making etc)

• Basic healthy eating and nutrition messages

• Recipe adaption and preparation of healthy meals

• Meal planning and budgeting

• Basic food hygiene messages

• Developing literacy and numeracy skills
