Knife skills, following a recipe, a shop and a shared meal at our Ormond centre. Three sessions a week, open to every NDIS participant across Greater Melbourne, and you always sit down to eat what you made.
we do the dishes, promise
The kitchen runs three times a week. Each session cooks something different, so you can come once or make it your regular thing.
The morning crew. A full cook from prep to plate, then everyone sits down together for lunch.
The afternoon session. Same idea, different recipe, and something to take home for dinner.
A shorter morning in the kitchen. Good if you are easing in or like a lighter session.
A rough idea of what happens at the bench. It changes with the season and with what the group fancies.
Chopping, peeling and setting a board up safely. The basics that make everything else easier.
Reading a method, measuring and timing. Skills that carry straight into your own kitchen.
Cakes, biscuits and the odd slice. The sessions that smell the best by a mile.
Planning a meal, writing a list and shopping to a budget. Real independence, one trolley at a time.
Clean hands, safe storage and cooking things properly. Quiet skills that matter.
The best bit. Everyone sits down and eats what the group made, together.
You do not need to know your way around a kitchen. Turn up, grab an apron, and we will show you the rest. Being a bit hungry is the only real requirement.
No experience needed, we start from wherever you are
An accessible kitchen with adaptive tools, tell us what helps
A support worker on hand during the session if you would like one
Usually funded under community participation, and daily living skills can sit under Capacity BuildingWe cook proper meals here. Fresh vegetables, decent protein, things you would genuinely want to eat, and things you can make again at home on a weeknight without much fuss.
Along the way you pick up the useful stuff: reading a recipe, handling a knife safely, planning a shop, getting everything to land on the table at the same time. Small wins that add up to cooking for yourself with confidence.

Cooking, budgeting and shopping skills that make everyday life at home easier.
A shared kitchen and a shared table is a surprisingly easy way to get talking.

Yes, and we would rather you did. Come and cook with us once, share the meal, meet a few people. No obligation and no pressure.
Give us a call and we will sort your days, or leave your details and we will call you. No commitment, and there is always a spare seat at the table.
