What does Cook Chill Chat involve?
Healthy Cities Illawarra (HCI) partners with community organisations to deliver this social inclusion, cooking and healthy eating program.
Eight Cooking Sessions
The group will cook an easy, quick and nourishing meal to share. It is not a cooking demonstration, but an opportunity to develop cooking skills in a supportive environment. We will then enjoy the meal together, followed or preceded by an education component, discussing different nutrition, health, and sustainability related topic. Options for topics are below, and participants will have the opportunity to choose from:
• Together in the Kitchen
• Eat Well, Live Well
• Get to Know Your Food
• Takeaway the Junk Food
• Savvy Savers
• Love Food Hate Waste
• Become a Storage Master
• Celebrating our Food Future
