Benefits of Group Cooking Classes
Build Independence:
Build Independence: Learn easy-to-follow recipes that you can replicate at home, empowering you to cook independently and rely less on others. This is especially helpful for those transitioning into Supported Independent Living (SIL) or moving toward living on their own.
Make Connections:
Engage in a safe, friendly environment where you can socialize with fellow participants, support workers, and chefs. Not only does this boost your confidence, but it also helps improve your social skills as you connect with others.
Boost Confidence:
Preparing a meal from scratch is an empowering experience. It instills a sense of accomplishment, building self-esteem and confidence, while fostering a positive self-image and a stronger sense of independence.
Emotional Regulation:
Cooking is also a therapeutic activity that engages the senses and offers a calming effect, helping participants relax and manage their emotions more effectively.

Do I have to bring a support worker?
Our fee doesn't just cover the cooking class, ingredients, and equipment. It’s an all-inclusive price that also includes support worker hours from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM! With a combined 15,000 hours of experience in support work, the teams at Plus One and Homie provide supportive mentors and workers who offer pick-up and drop-off services, as well as assistance during the cooking class.
