Multicultural Zero Waste Cuisine Workshops:
Welcome to our Foodwise Families Multicultural Zero Waste cooking workshop series! Over four sessions, each lasting three hours, kids and their families will dive into a fun culinary journey celebrating diversity and environmental care. We’ll focus on using whole ingredients and teach practical kitchen skills while also learning about sustainable living, starting from how we shop for, store, cook food and recycle using our Zero Food Waste Life cycle.
Space is limited to 18 participants per session, so be sure to sign up early! During the workshops, families will cook together, learning to reduce food waste and make delicious, healthy meals.
But it’s not just about cooking – our workshops are also about sharing cultures and bringing generations together. By cooking side by side, local, expat, and migrant families will build connections and enjoy the shared experience of making food together.
Come along as we explore new flavours, build community, and empower ourselves. Let’s create healthier eating habits, care for the environment, and strengthen family bonds through the magic of food
