“Healthy families build healthy communities and Council’s aim is to spread the word on cooking with fresh and healthy ingredients at home,” said Marie Witts, Go for your life Project Officer at Cardinia Shire Council.
“We are conscious that many families are rushed for time and regard cooking at home as too time consuming, too expensive and too complicated.
“These workshops highlight how easy, quick and economic home can be,” Marie added “and how healthy.”
Parents can book for either session by visiting their school office.
