[Resource] Healthy Eating in the Community: Collective Kitchens Manual
What are collective kitchens?
Collective kitchens are community-based cooking programs where small groups of people get together to cook. There are several terms for collective kitchens, including “community kitchens”, “cooking clubs” or “cooking circles”.
Collective kitchens can:
- help communities share knowledge, resources and food skills
- help participants:
- feel more connected to others in their community
- build self-confidence in group settings
- build food skills
- learn more about different types of foods, customs and culture. This can be very helpful for people who are new to Canada.
