Culinary Grief Workshops – The Power of Home-Cooked Meals

Grieving can leave you feeling drained, and cooking may feel like the last thing on your mind. Yet food provides us with the basic energy we need to carry on. Establishing a simple meal routine with three nourishing, home-cooked dishes can make a world of difference in how you feel.

I know how challenging this can be, especially when grief makes everyday tasks - like bringing food into the house - seem impossible. I struggled with this myself, which is why I created these Culinary Grief Workshops - to offer the support you need to nourish yourself well through grief.

In these workshops, you’ll find a safe, welcoming space to connect with others who truly understand what you're going through. Together, we’ll explore how food can become your ally - providing comfort, balance, and nourishment to help make grief more manageable.

How The Sessions Work

The 2-hour workshops are mainly online, so you can join from the comfort of your home. Cooking along with me is highly encouraged, but if you’d prefer to simply watch, that’s absolutely fine too.

Each session is hands-on and practical. Together, we’ll prepare two simple, nourishing dishes that you can easily recreate at home. You'll also learn how to adapt these recipes to keep your meals varied and interesting.

Throughout the workshop, there will be time to discuss everyday challenges, exchange coping strategies, and ask questions about your specific dietary needs. This is your space to learn, share, and get the support you need. The workshops are designed to be interactive and inspiring, ensuring you leave with practical tools and a renewed sense of empowerment.

With a maximum of 10 participants, the workshops are small and intimate. This means you’ll receive individual attention and have the opportunity to share your experiences with others on the same journey.

What Will You Gain?

You may think preparing meals from scratch is too much effort, but I promise - it doesn’t have to be. These workshops will help you:

✔️ Build confidence in the kitchen with hands-on experience preparing quick, nourishing, and delicious meals
✔️ Learn easy meal-planning strategies that reduce effort while ensuring balanced nutrition
✔️ Understand how food impacts your mood, energy, and digestion so you can make informed choices
✔️ Discover practical ways to use leftovers and make your groceries go further
✔️ Experiment with herbs and spices to enhance the flavour and health benefits of your meals
✔️ Create comforting, nutritious meals that fit your needs - without stress or overwhelm

My goal is to empower you with knowledge, skills, and a sense of control - because when you feel better physically, it becomes just a little easier to face each day.
