Our Deaf Wellbeing Cooking Club offers the opportunity to learn new recipes, new techniques, specialised meals for people with allergies or intolerances and information about nutrition. The groups learn how to interpret recipes that may have seemed too difficult in written English language which are made easier by using NZSL. During the last 8 years we have taught over 85 recipes in NZSL ranging from festive dishes such as Christmas cake and hot cross buns through to healthy, low fat meals like fish parcels or date and apple breakfast muffins.

We have taught international dishes including paella, kerstkrans and saagwala. Through this we have opened our participants eyes to the wonder of food and cooking. Everyone loves food and bonding over food is easy. Preparing meals can be relaxing and rewarding, giving confidence and a sense of achievement to the cooks.

Cost for the class is $10. This includes all ingredients, menus, lunch, and something to take home.

In February 2017 we became the Deaf Wellbeing Society Incorporated and we were able to start filming our recipes in NZSL. We have 150 recipes filmed. These are all on our face book page too.
