Autism Ontario is excited to partner with COOKSMART to offer an engaging 4-week cooking program!

About us:

COOKSMART helps kids and teens learn real-life kitchen skills, try new foods, and feel proud of what they can make. From holiday camps and birthday parties to in-school workshops, our programs blend nutrition, safety, and fun. We’ve taught 28,000+ young cooks across the GTA and partner with schools to support Healthy Schools goals. Parents love the independence it sparks; educators love the curriculum fit.

About the workshop series:

COOKSMART is excited to partner with Autism Ontario to deliver a hands-on cooking class series for families. This program will introduce participants to nutrition through safe food preparation, cooking techniques and various food-related activities to encourage skill development, independence, and confidence in the kitchen.

(All recipes will be nut-free and halal.)

Week 1 (April 14): Tortilla Fun Faces

Week 2 (April 21): Rainbow Fruit Parfaits

Week 3 (April 28): Protein Power Balls

Week 4 (May 5): Hearty Veggie Lentil Soup
