Cooking Classes for Seniors

Sally from The Brook

Our next Just Cook 4 Healthy Ageing Class is coming up in July. This is run in conjunction with the NZ Nutrition Foundation and is delivered by myself. There are 4 classes over a month each lasting 3 hours. We cover Nutrition and there's a demo followed by time for you to cook the dish. Then we all sit down together and eat it. We are looking for people over the age of 65 who have a need for more motivation to cook healthy food for themselves, require a bit more confidence in the kitchen and to improve your cooking skills a bit. If you are looking for a place to extend your repetoire in the kitchen this is not the course for you. It's a fun time and you meet people who are similar to yourself. If you would like more information please contact me at sallyrees60@gmail.com Applications close on July 10th and there are a limited number of places. There is no charge for this course.
