Kapel Telkuna Cooking classes- May 2026

The first block of cooking classes were filled with delicious food, learning, and plenty of laughter at the Kapel Telkuna Unit (KTU), where community members came together for a four-week cooking program .

Led by Bianca from our Dietetics Team and Bronte, Health Promotion Officer, participants enjoyed hands-on cooking sessions focused on building confidence in the kitchen, learning about nutrition, and preparing healthy, affordable meals incorporating Bush Tucker ingredients.

The program also welcomed special guest Anne Rowe, who shared her knowledge of traditional Bush Tucker ingredients and their cultural significance.

Each week provided opportunities to connect with others, share stories, enjoy a meal together, and take home nutritious food to share with family and friends. Meals cooked included chilli con carne, minestrone soup & damper, cauliflower mac and cheese and apple crumble.
