Open Table No Waste Cook Club 2026

Want to learn how to cook delicious, healthy meals on a student budget? The Open Table No Waste Cook Club is a free four-part cooking workshop for students aged 18–25. Learn practical cooking skills, discover budget-friendly recipes, reduce food waste, and cook alongside others in a fun, welcoming environment. Best of all, you'll enjoy the meal you've created together and take home free groceries and recipes to keep the cooking going! This program runs over four weeks, with one workshop each week. The four-week program will be repeated three times between August and October. Each session builds on the skills you learn along the way, covering topics such as cooking on a budget, preparing meals with limited kitchen access, understanding nutrition, and making the most of fresh produce. Registration is essential, we encourage signing up for at least a month, but you're welcome to attend as many as you like! Please bring a container to take any left overs home in.
