Learn to cook with confidence!

Nutrition Australia’s Cooking Clinics (formally known as Project Dinnertime) provide participants with the confidence and skills to prepare nutritious and tasty meals at home. All cooking clinics are delivered by university trained, Accredited Practising Dietitians.

Who are sessions suited to?

All sessions are tailored to individual dietary needs and level of ability. 

Sessions take place in Nutrition Australia’s fully accessible custom-built kitchen located within the Chifley Health Hub and are well suited for people who: 

• have limited kitchen and food preparation skills  
• are at risk of / or currently living with chronic health conditions  
• are looking for practical nutrition advice in a friendly, informal, and safe environment. 

Cooking clinics are a great adjunct to medical nutrition therapy which a client may already be receiving; it takes the theory of healthy eating and makes it practical, tangible, tasty and fun! 

Cooking Clinic participants will:

• cook their choice of two nutritious dishes from our recipe selection
• take away their prepared meals to enjoy at home
• receive individualised nutrition advice and support to help achieve their healthy eating goals.

Participants will also receive their very own compendium of nutrition information and recipes suited to their needs and tastes.

NDIS Item Numbers:
