Go behind the scenes of OzHarvest’s internationally acclaimed food rescue model and get the inside scoop from our chefs! Bring the family for your chance to learn from the best in the business at this hands on, fun and scrumptious cooking lesson led by OzHarvest chefs.

This workshop is designed to teach basic cooking skills to children and highlight the environmental and social benefit of loving all sorts of food! It will also give your family an opportunity to learn something new together. Carers will be grouped with their own children for a fun family experience.

Children aged 8-12 are welcome, accompanied by their parent or carer.

After a welcome and video briefing, you will be put to work creating gourmet dishes using sustainable practices, with the goal of transforming fresh excess produce into tasty and nutritious meals. Your creations will feed vulnerable people in Sydney who otherwise would not know where their next healthy meal could come from.

Using rescued ingredients means the possibilities are endless and our chefs will create the menu on the day, so you're in for a surprise! Think aromatic curries, Asian cuisine, hand made pastas and vegetarian tips and tricks!
