MEL Live Broadcast Sharing Session 9

Sharing 1: Cook-Fit Healthy Cooking Workshop for South Asian Families

Description:

In 2023, we conducted a pilot programme titled “Cook-Fit Healthy Cooking Workshop for South Asian Families.” This initiative aimed to understand the causes of obesity within the South Asian community. The programme included three sessions combining knowledge sharing, shopping practice, and cooking. Key challenges included adopting new recipes while preserving traditional cooking methods and concerns about family acceptance of a healthy diet. We evaluated cognitive changes through home visits and social media follow-ups.
