at fyieverybodycooks we want EVERYBODY, and we mean EVERYBODY to be able to learn how to cook! its a big ask but we think we can do it.  By reimagining recipes with visual and easy to follow instructions along with videos that show how its done we can achieve this goal.   how did the come about? I’m Debbie, I love cooking and its is in my blood.  My cooking skills and joy was passed down to me from my Grandma and Mum and I wanted to pass those onto Daniel.  As his Mum it is my job to teach him how to cook for himself so I would always include and encourage Daniel to “help” in the kitchen.  He loved it! when I thought about the recipes, I knew he would need a different way to be able to follow them by himself.  Once I started to write them down, I thought, its not just Daniel who needs recipes like these, it’s EVERYONE.  By changing the way recipes are presented, they became inclusive which meant anyone no matter their abilities could cook it.   cooking is such an important life skill, it gives you a sense of achievement and independence when you cook something for yourself, friends and family.  everyone should be able to experience this, no matter their challenges. showing Daniel how to cook something really helped as he copied what I did.  When he was cooking it in front of others it showed them that there are no limits and anyone can cook something.  So this highlighted a need to ‘show’ how to make the recipes.  A cooking show was born and more importantly, cooking classes were started. These classes can be done in person or online via Zoom. Daniel and I love cooking with groups showing them that anyone of any age and ability can cook something that’s healthy and delicious. it is our goal that everybody should know how to cook something, no matter their abilities.  Through our inclusive cookbooks, classes and the cooking show, we hope to achieve this globally. why not start with a cookbook or two and come along to a class, soon you too will be cooking healthy, delicious dishes for you and your family?
