JUST COOK Healthy Ageing Programme

 

JUST COOK Healthy Ageing is our 4-session programme aimed at building cooking skills, confidence and motivation to cook, nutrition knowledge and addressing social isolation among older people.

Learn to plan and cook simple healthy meals for 1 or 2 people plus shopping tips, label reading and time-saving strategies. Ideal for those lacking practical cooking skills or who need a boost of confidence to cook for themselves.

The fun and social classes are three hours long and held once a week over four weeks. Includes morning tea and lunch!

The course is free, but a donation is warmly appreciated.

Note: You need to be able to come to all four classes and stand for one hour while cooking
