A motivated group of eight mature blokes from the local community have met monthly from August 2023 to June 2025.
A Club pilot project developed for participants to learn some of the finer points of meal making, and to enjoy a fun time together.
Participants became adaept at food prepping including equipment skills, recipe use, time management, using the oven and induction hob, food safety and good shopping practices.
The BLOKES KITCHEN a Rotary Club of St Peters Community Service project.

The Project is in recession whilst we seek a presenter, cook demonstrator. If interested, contact us at secretary@rotarystpeters.org.au
The support of Norwood Payneham & St Peters Council has been essential to the success of this project by its provision of the free use of a small commercial kitchen, storage facilities, and an adjoining room for dining, which has enabled us to prepare and eat a meal at each session.
The equipment has mostly been acquired from the Rotary Club's recycled goods Shed on Linde Reserve, which operates on Saturday mornings 8.30am/12.30 pm. The Shed is the Club’s major fundraising activity, and also serves as a meeting hub for locals.
Each session involved the preparation of a full, nutritionally sound meal, and included a very successful one dish dinner, breakfast omelettes, interesting salads, and fettuccine marinara.
Following a small cost at start-up, the project has been self-funded. With the help of suitably qualified volunteers, and the generosity of our local council, it has been a challenging, but highly recommended, community support project.
The program has gone into recession whilst the club explores alternate venues and seeks a cook/demonstrator.
