Cooking Event Itinerary

  • Workshop participants ease into the day with cooking prompts and a welcome circle to get grounded and set the tone.

    Presentation
    We begin with a short, engaging talk around a weekly theme. Topics change every event and focus on everyday food, balance, and practical wellbeing.

  • Cooking & Cooking Together
    You’ll watch a clear cooking demo and then cook at your cooking station alongside the group. No pressure. No complicated techniques. Just real food made simply.

  • Music, Movement & Fun
    Expect light movement with music to reset your energy before eating. It’s fun, inclusive, and designed to help you feel good. It is not a workout, just fun.

  • Tasting & Eating
    We taste as we go and sit down to enjoy what we’ve cooked together. This is about slowing down, connecting, and enjoying food properly.

  • Q&A & Community Time
    Ask questions, share thoughts, and connect. Books by My London Diet are available to explore during the session.
