Our Day Programs Cooking Class is where skills are learned, stories are shared, and delicious memories are made. Here's a peek at some of the golden, flaky sausage rolls fresh from our latest session!

The air was filled with laughter, delicious aromas, and a wonderful sense of camaraderie as our community members rolled up their sleeves and dove into the culinary adventure. These cooking classes are more than just about preparing food; they're an integral part of our Uconnex Day Programs, designed to bring our community together, offer opportunities to learn specific skills, and, most importantly, provide a platform for everyone to share their unique stories and experiences.


Sausage rolls were a perfect choice for this session – not only are they a beloved traditional food, but they can also be made with healthy ingredients, making them a fantastic and practical skill to learn. It was truly inspiring to see everyone engaged, practicing their techniques, and showcasing their incredible abilities.

Our culinary journey began with the preparation, as everyone got hands-on with the ingredients, meticulously mixing and seasoning to create the perfect sausage filling. Then came the exciting part: practicing making the raw sausage rolls. With careful guidance, our participants skillfully rolled out the pastry, spooned in the filling, and expertly shaped each roll, lining them up proudly on baking trays, ready for the next stage.

Once prepared, the sausage rolls were fried to a golden perfection, filling the room with an irresistible scent. The anticipation grew as they cooked, and finally, the moment arrived to taste how good they were! And they certainly did not disappoint – the smiles and satisfied expressions on everyone's faces said it all. This class was a wonderful reminder of how good we all are, both individually and collectively, when we come together.
