Explore the components of a balanced diet and discover how to apply these principles to your cooking


What you eat affects your mind, your body and your energy – but you shouldn’t need a degree in nutrition in order to eat well!


This course begins by introducing you to basic concepts such as nutrients, ingredient benefits and key equipment you might find useful in supporting your healthy cooking journey.


You’ll be empowered to make informed decisions about the type of meals and recipes you choose to support your long-term wellbeing.


Discover new flavours and cooking methods to support your healthy eating plans


Each week, you’ll master a new healthy dish to add to your recipe repertoire, learn how to identify food groups, plan your meals, and create healthy balanced meals in minutes.


You’ll also discover how to anticipate, eliminate and troubleshoot potential failure points like recipe mishaps, planning and food storage.
