Since the beginning of Covid, local disability charity Sunshine Butterflies has been excitedly preparing their first ‘Farmyard Cooking School’ Cookbook.
Sunshine Butterflies ‘Our Farmyard Cooking School’ teaches people living with disability how to cook healthy and nutritious meals using a variety of fresh and wholesome ingredients while practising cooking skills that are tailored for all abilities.
This week their members celebrated the official launch of their cookbook at ‘Our Backyard’.
They welcomed the team from Herbalife Nutrition foundation to help present these cookbooks and participate in a book signing with the cooking school chefs.
Herbalife Nutrition Foundation (HNF) are a global non-profit foundation that supports programs and projects that provide children and youth with the nourishment, care and education they need to thrive.
“Herbalife Nutrition Foundation have supported Sunshine Butterflies with funding through the Casa HNF program, which has allowed us to create these beautiful, authentic cookbooks from scratch,“ Cooking Program Leader, Leesa Brooder said.
“We are thrilled to finally share the creations from ‘Our Farmyard Cooking School’ with the public and showcase our mouth-watering recipes, which were all created in our inclusive and accessible kitchen.”
The ’Our Farmyard Cooking School’ cookbook contains a variety of unique and wholesome recipes designed by Sunshine Butterflies cooking school team and perfected by their members living with disability.
Sweets, snacks, mains and drinks are on the menu, all using local and seasonal ingredients inspired by the home of Sunshine Butterflies.
“Sunshine Butterflies ‘Our Farmyard Cooking School’ cookbook is more than just a cookbook,“ CEO and founder Leanne Walsh said.“It tells a story of social connection around farm-fresh food and shines a bright light on the importance of taking care of our health, our backyard and our friends and family.”
The local Charity is now selling these cookbooks to the community at five different retailers in the Noosa region, with 100 per cent of the profits being reinvested to empower people with disabilities.
Sunshine Butterflies cookbook will retail for $25 and is now on sale at Gibsons Homewares and Licensed caf¨¦, Tewantin Newsagency, Galah Home, Noosa Fair Newsagency and the home of Sunshine Butterflies, ‘Our Backyard’ in Cooroibah.
