We are looking for cooking instructors to assist 

"As my wife no longer cooks it has fallen to me to prepare our meals I was prompted to join the Men’s Kitchen. My experience with the Men’s Kitchen has allowed me to expand my cooking skills and attempt a range of healthy foods in our diet. I can now follow a recipe with confidence to cook food I wouldn’t have attempted before.”

This is the experience of one of our members and a similar experience will soon be available to older men in the Hills District.

TO MAKE IT HAPPEN WE NEED YOU!

To guide our members in their cooking journey we need several competent cooks, ex chefs or cookery teachers!

Help us set up a new Men's Kitchen in Castle Hill by volunteering one Thursday a month from 10.45am -2pm!

Have fun helping older blokes learn to cook from our international recipe book plus share a delicious meal and make new friends.

Keen to help or learn more? Just complete this form and we'll be in touch!

The Hills District Men's Kitchen 

Great news!

We have secured our venue to launch the Hills District Men's Kitchen.

It's located at the Wesley Uniting Church Hall on Showground Road, and is very central to the area, just around the corner from the Castle Hill shopping mall.  Check these photos out!  A great venue by all measures.

Notice anything missing from these images?  Yes you're not in the picture.  Reach out to get involved!

Councillor Kasby supports our Hills District launch

"After seeing the Men's Kitchen in Turramurra in action, I would love to see this fantastic initiative in the Hills.  The benefits in terms of nutritional health and wellbeing, confidence in the kitchen and stronger social connections cannot be underestimated - I think this will be such a big win for our community.

The Men’s Kitchen Hills District is ready to go but they are still looking for some financial support (to fit out the Kitchen to their needs) and volunteers (to help with cooking instruction and other support roles). If you are interested in joining or assisting in any way please reach out, they'd love to hear from you!"

Councillor Mila Kasby

The Men's Kitchen is coming to the Sydney Hills District. 

Several people living in the Sydney Hills District area are exploring the possibility of starting up a new kitchen in there.  

So if you live in the Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills or Kellyville areas and would like to assist us to get started in that area get in touch with us.

Our Program

Hills District Kitchen

At each of our cooking sessions we conduct our program in the same manner:

• We meet at 11am and have a chat about the menu of the day discussing any significant points about each new recipe.
• Then we form into pairs, with each pair tasked to prepare a complete dish. They then choose which dish they would like to tackle. (Generally, a choice of a main, a dessert or any side dish of the day like flat bread or salad.)
• Prepare the meal with the cooking instructor helping us to learn by pointing out tips and techniques as we construct our dish.
• When the meal is ready, we sit together and enjoy the feast we have just made and have a general chat.
• Plan the menu for the next time we meet. At this point, we seek volunteers to buy the ingredients for each menu item, and a volunteer to wash the aprons and tea towels.
• Finally, we clear up, wash the dishes and depart by about 2pm.
