Cooking Skills

Kitchen Skills Workshops

Our very effective kitchen skills programs help our community members improve confidence and enjoyment in the preparation of nutritious and delicious food. Participants develop more cooking skills and knowledge, get support, and set themselves up to make lasting, positive changes in their lives. 77% of participants in this program have made healthy changes to their diets. 

The kitchen is a great place to bring people together to cook new recipes, try new flavours, and have fun working as a team using healthy food as the key ingredient.

For kids, the Local’s Kids Kitchen Connections is a fun and interactive cooking class designed for juniors (8-10 years) and seniors (11-13 years). Participants will gain confidence in the kitchen and make new friends while mastering practical life skills and learn about positive eating habits.  The class covers food and kitchen safety, how food connects us, food mapping, to creating your own recipe.
