🌟 We are feeling so grateful today! 🌟

We just received this beautiful review about our cooking classes with Davide, and it truly captures what our kitchen is all about:
✨ kindness, confidence, and connection ✨

"My client, who has significant sensory challenges and a long history of food aversions, previously refused to eat most foods. Since joining the classes with Davide, everything has changed... Now, she’s not just eating—she’s excited to try new dishes each week. Davide isn’t just a chef, he’s been a mate to my client and that’s not something you come across every day."

Stories like this remind us why we do what we do 💛
Helping participants feel safe, supported, and excited about food is the heart of our mission.

Thank you for trusting us and for sharing such kind words 🙏

This weekend, Davide had the pleasure of attending a mozzarella-making workshop organized by Fleurieu Food and Wine and hosted Lot 50 Yankalilla 🧀✨

It’s a great reminder that the kitchen never ceases to amaze — even for someone who’s been cooking professionally his whole life, there’s always something new to learn, taste, and perfect.

That’s exactly the spirit we bring into our programs — whether we’re working with participants to master a favourite dish, try something completely new, or build confidence in the kitchen, every session is about curiosity, creativity, and joy through food.

Who knows… maybe mozzarella will make an appearance in a future class! 😉

🥄 Cannoli class this morning!

Today we had a great session making cannoli from scratch with one of our participants who’s interested in pursuing a career in baking.

They nailed the dough, the filling, and even the presentation! It’s always great to see skills grow in the kitchen—and even better when there’s a clear goal behind it.

Step by step, we’re building confidence and practical experience.

Did you know learning to cook can boost your confidence and your mental health?

A study from Edith Cowan University (ECU) with 650+ adults (link in comments) found that after just seven weeks of cooking classes, participants reported greater self-belief in the kitchen—and improved general & mental wellbeing.

We see that success 🌟 in our participants all the time!

Our sessions go beyond cooking:

🌟 Build independence
🌟 Improve social skills
🌟 Boost confidence

🌱 VEGGIE POWER IN EVERY CLASS! 🥦🍆🥕

At ALMA Cooking Support, we believe in making every meal count — not just for taste, but for health too!

That’s why our recipes are packed with fresh veggies, even the ones our participants might have once said “no thanks” to. Little by little, we're reintroducing these ingredients in fun, simple ways — helping build confidence, curiosity, and healthier habits in the kitchen.

Whether it’s hidden in a sauce, roasted to perfection, or tossed into a stir fry — there’s always a colourful surprise on the plate. 🌈✨

We’re proud to source all our beautiful produce from Adelaide Fresh, supporting local and keeping it fresh every week!

👨‍👩‍👦 Time for a Little Family Break ✈️

This photo isn’t our usual food snap — but we thought it was the perfect moment to share something a bit different. As a small family-run business, we pour our hearts into everything we do, and this picture captures a little pause to appreciate how far we’ve come. (Onkaparinga Business Award)

Now, we’re off on a much-needed family holiday for the next few weeks! 🌍💙

And because we can't not cook together for a whole month...

🥗 Let the 4-Week Home Cooking Challenge begin!

Each week, our amazing participants will receive one recipe to cook at home.
Cook solo, with your support worker or family, and send us a photo of your masterpiece — there will be fun prizes every week! 🎁

We might be away, but the joy of cooking continues in your kitchen

Let the cooking (and the prize-winning) begin! 😃

This week’s recipe: Pumpkin Coconut Soup with Red Curry Paste 🎃🥥🌶

As the weather cools down, our kitchen is heating up with a comforting dish that’s full of flavour and heart — our Pumpkin Coconut Soup with a touch of red curry paste.

This recipe has been part of Davide’s repertoire for years, and it’s one we keep coming back to. The smooth pumpkin, creamy coconut milk, and gentle spice from the red curry paste make it the perfect winter warmer.

But what makes this soup even more special? It’s part of our gentle mission to introduce more veggies into our participants’ diets — especially for those who usually shy away from them. The rich, balanced flavours make it an easy (and delicious) way to say yes to veggies.

And for a few of our participants this week, it was the first time they actually liked pumpkin. That’s a win in our book! 🧡

👨‍🍳💡 A recipe born from creativity and confidence!

A few weeks ago, during one of our sessions, participant Tyler wasn’t too keen on the recipe Davide had planned. So, Davide flipped the script and asked him to come up with something using what we had in the fridge. The result? A delicious, KFC-inspired chicken dish that blew everyone away! 🍗🔥

It was so good that we had all our participants try it in the following weeks—and of course, we named it Tyler’s fried Chicken! 🙌

Moments like this are exactly what our program is about: building confidence, encouraging independence, and giving our NDIS participants the space to shine. 🌟

👨‍🍳👩‍🍳 New Program Option: Cook Your Way! 🥦🍝

We’ve launched a new hands-on cooking experience for participants who want to get a little more creative—and a whole lot more connected 💡💛

Each week, participants step into the kitchen, open the fridge and pantry, and come up with their very own recipe using what’s available. It’s all about teamwork, thinking on your feet, and making something delicious together. 🍳✨

One of our long-time sibling participants has jumped into this new program, and it’s been amazing to watch them in action! They brainstorm, prep, cook, and plate together—and the results are always impressive (and tasty). 😋

Even better? Their family told us that since starting the sessions, the siblings’ bond has grown stronger. They're communicating more, solving problems together, and just having a blast in the kitchen. 🧡

We love seeing food bring people closer—especially family.
