Join this youth cooking class to learn about food waste, safety and storage, then create a delicious meal to share with everyone.

In this hands-on cooking class, delivered by Nom! Foodbank WA, participants will explore the fundamentals of food waste, safety and storage. This class is designed to equip young adults with essential culinary skills that will not only help them make smart food choices but also prepare them for independent living as they transition into adulthood. Participants will gain confidence in the kitchen by mastering basic cooking techniques, understanding nutrition, and planning balanced meals. At the end of the class, everyone will come together to prepare and share a wholesome meal, creating a sense of community and reinforcing the importance of cooking for oneself and others. Join us for a fun and informative experience that sets you up for a healthy, self-sufficient future!
