How It Works

Led by the masters of zero-waste cooking, our chefs host teams of all sizes in the OzHarvest kitchens (or hired commercial kitchens). From learning how to chop an onion properly, to cooking root to stem – you’ll be inspired by this hands-on cooking session full of practical tips and tricks for you to apply at home.

After creating delicious and nutritious meals, teams help pack the food ready for OzHarvest to deliver to local charities. The good news is there’s no washing up and you get to taste your culinary delights!

Cost: $205 pp – tax deductible.

It was a great afternoon with a heart-warming vibe. It was not just the onions that made some of us shed a few tears wth the stories and statistics that were shared.

For many, the meals they receive through Cooking for a Cause are often the best quality they will experience. The intention that comes from respecting the ingredients, and thinking of those who will receive the food is core to the outcome of the meal.
