The NEST program, short for Nutritional Education Skills Training, teaches participants healthy eating and cooking skills to help them make lasting changes for better health.
Through NEST, participants gain valuable knowledge on various aspects of nutrition, such as how to stretch their shopping budget, store food safely, decipher food labels, plan nutritious meals, and minimise food waste. Moreover, they learn to cook easy, healthy recipes that taste great. Each session spans 2.5 hours and encompasses a blend of nutrition activities, group cooking lessons, and the joy of sharing a meal together.
Upon completing the 6-session program, participants will receive a certificate of achievement, along with valuable take-home resources, including a copy of the OzHarvest Everyday Cookbook.
