PROGRAM INFORMATION
The Program
The vision of Jamie’s Ministry of Food program is nothing less than a food revolution. The initiative has the potential to radically improve population health and social welfare of communities across Australia. It empowers people with the skills to change their eating and cooking behaviour, to combat the short and long term manifestations of poor nutrition in our community and on our health care system.
Jamie’s Ministry of Food is about getting people cooking again by teaching them the basics: how to cook, how to shop, and how to enjoy food in a way that benefits not only individuals, but also their families. We want to give as many people as possible the tools and information they need to be able to make better
How does it work?
- The Jamie’s Ministry of Food Mobile Kitchen, a purpose built kitchen class room on wheels start will teaching in Mildura on Monday 26th May 2014.
- The Mobile Kitchen will be located at the Pine Avenue Car Park, Corner of Pine Ave and 10th Street, Mildura
- Participants sign up to a five week course; they attend a 90 minute class once a week each week for the five weeks.
- The classes involve learning how to cook, knife skills, how to shop and cook on a budget, food safety and hygiene, shopping for fresh, seasonal produce and preparing delicious, tasty meals
- Recipes include how to cook with eggs, pasta, roasts, burgers, salads and simple fish and meat dishes
- Classes are limited to 12 participants, and are completely hands on.
- Participants are able to take home the meal they prepare for their family and friends
Although the Mobile Kitchen comes staffed with a team of food trainers who will teach all of the classes, we really couldn’t do it without the help of a volunteer army. Very quickly a volunteer becomes an integral part of the team; the trainer will rely on you to help them out and participants will know that they can ask you for extra assistance if they need it.
Who can volunteer?
Volunteers don’t need to be professionals in the kitchen - anyone over the age of 16 years who has a commitment to the values and philosophies of the program and a keen interest in food, cooking and helping people learn how to cook.
What do Volunteers do?
Volunteers help the trainers makes sure that classes run smoothly and participants enjoy their class. Tasks could include;
- Preparation of food prep and workstation set up for your class
- Welcome participants into the Mobile Kitchen for their class
- Supporting the trainer and participants during class
- Help out with the cleaning, washing dishes and tidying up during and after class
Two hours each week - we ask that volunteers commit to the same class each week for the five week cycle. This will help you build relationships with both the trainer and the participants, which will allow the participants to become familiar with you and feel comfortable in asking for your help – this makes for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Classes will be held at the following times;
Day / Time
Monday / - / 1pm – 2.30pm / 4pm – 5.30pm / 6.30pm – 8.00pm
