Connect with Communities

Partner with us to deliver cooking experiences that build skills, culture, and connection. We design and host community cooking classes and food events for councils, neighbourhood houses, libraries, schools, CALD associations, seniors groups, disability services, and local festivals.

What we can do for you

  • Venue hire & setups: Use our accessible commercial kitchen via hrs or long term contracts, small to large workstations to fit your demand.
  • Qualified trainers & staff: Chef-educators, facilitators, and support staff with food-safety accreditation and Working With Children/NDIS screening where required.
  • Event hosting end-to-end: We handle registrations (optional), run sheets, MC/hosting, risk assessments, bump-in/out, and clean-up.
  • Programs tailored to your goals: Co-design menus, themes, duration, language support, and accessibility needs (e.g., sensory-friendly sessions, adaptive utensils, interpreters).
  • Ingredients & equipment: We can supply all shopping, recipe packs, PPE, tools, and take-home resources.
  • Reporting & impact: Attendance logs, feedback summaries, and outcomes snapshots for your acquittals and community reports.
  • Marketing support (optional): Co-branded flyers, social captions, and an online registration page.

Program formats (mix & match)
