Healthy Cooking Demonstrations

Viewing and tasting a healthy cooking demonstration of affordable whole foods* recipes can provide people with the inspiration, confidence and skills to start cooking their own meals from scratch.

*Whole foods can be generally described as foods that have not been highly processed, refined or had ingredients added to them. Whole foods include fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

“If a drug had the kind of results whole foods have on your health, your GP would prescribe a daily dose of cooking with whole foods” – Rupert Aikman (Nutritionist, BSc, MMedSci).

"Rupert previously hosted other workshops and received positive feedback from staff, from the initial call it was clear Rupert understood the brief of what we were trying to achieve from the healthy cooking demonstration, Rupert took an audience lead approach and this worked very well with our staff as all attendees felt that they could ask questions which were relevant to them. Rupert made the audience feel comfortable to discuss issues around nutrition which some people may shy away from – the sessions were very information and the food was delicious.
