Cooking in the Spirit of Kotahitanga: a hands-on cooking class

Discover how to create balanced, affordable, nourishing meals using seasonal ingredients, pulses, grains, and proteins. This is an invitation to experience the act of cooking as a way to connect with ourselves, with te taiao (the earth) and community.

You will:

• Learn about sourcing local produce.
• Boost your confidence, competence, and creativity in the kitchen.
• Engage with cooking as a practice that nourishes your whole being, and creates wellbeing.
• Gain practical tips and skills for creating delicious balanced meals for the whole whānau.
• Come together at the end for a shared meal and chance to reflect on the session.

The Wholefood Kitchen approach is also informed by Mātauranga Māori principles and values, and offers an enquiry into how we can access a lived, embodied experience of these principles by coming together, cooking and sharing food.
