Workshop 1: Meet Your Inner Cook & Begin Your Personal Cookbook

Begin your journey to culinary self-discovery and create your personalised cookbook! In this enlightening first workshop, you'll meet your "Inner Cook" - the unique culinary personality influencing your approach to food and cooking.

Through interactive exercises and guided reflection, you'll establish the framework for a cookbook tailored exclusively to your tastes and cooking style.

Unlike conventional cookbooks, which never quite fit your needs, your personal cookbook will reflect your true preferences, portion sizes, and favourite techniques.

This workshop lays the essential groundwork for a culinary resource you'll actually use, cherish, and continue to develop as your cooking confidence grows. It is perfect for solo cooks or couples who want cooking resources that truly represent how they like to eat.

• When: Saturday, May 31st
• Time: 2.00 – 4.00 pm
• Where: Café at Gartrell Uniting Church, Prescott Terrance, Rose Park

Workshop 2: The Four Foundation Elements of a just4Me Meal & Developing Your Recipe Categories

Build the heart of your personal cookbook in this hands-on workshop focused on the four foundation elements that make cooking just for yourself or a pair pleasurable and practical.

You'll move beyond the framework established in Workshop 1 to create meaningful recipe categories based on your pantry essentials and favourite flavour profiles. This isn't just about organising recipes—it's about developing a system that works with your lifestyle.

• When: Saturday, June 28th
• Time: 2.00 – 4.00 pm
• Where: Café at Gartrell Uniting Church, Prescott Terrance, Rose Park

Workshop 3: Your 12 Rules of Engagement & Recipe Development Principle

Transform your growing recipe collection into a profoundly personal culinary guide that reflects what you eat and how and why you eat it. This enlightening workshop helps you articulate the diet, family, cultural, and personal food rules that will form the philosophical foundation of your cookbook.

You'll develop a consistent system for recipe notation, adaptations, and personal touches that make your cookbook uniquely yours.

By the end of this session, you'll have established your "12 Rules of Engagement" that will serve as guiding principles for all future recipe development. Your cookbook will begin to reflect a coherent culinary philosophy rather than just a random collection of recipes.

This clarity will ensure every future addition to your cookbook truly serves your well-being and honours your Inner Cook's preferences, creating a lifelong resource that evolves with you.

• When: Saturday, July 26
• Time: 2.00 – 4.00 pm
• Where: Café at Gartrell Uniting Church, Prescott Terrance, Rose Park

Workshop 4: Recipe Mastery & Completing Your Personal Cookbook

In this culminating workshop, complete your transformation from recipe follower to confident cookbook author. Master the art of consistent recipe development and documentation while learning advanced techniques to expand your personal cookbook into a comprehensive culinary resource.

 You'll create specially formatted sections, including the innovative "Seven Ways" collections and a "Mood Food Playlist" that honours the emotional aspects of eating.

This final session equips you with everything needed to finalise your personalised cookbook – from formatting and indexing to special sections for occasions and moods. You'll leave with a beautifully organised, practical cooking resource with recipes ideally suited to your tastes and lifestyle.

Unlike store-bought cookbooks that gather dust, your cookbook will become your most treasured kitchen companion, constantly evolving as you cook. Join us to celebrate the completion of your unique culinary guide that makes cooking for yourself or a partner a genuine pleasure!
