Diabetes Prevention & Management Cooking Class

Living with diabetes doesn’t have to mean dull, restrictive meals. The Diabetes Management Cooking Class offers an inspiring way to take control of health while enjoying delicious, satisfying food.

This hands on cookery class focuses on low glycaemic index (GI) ingredients and recipes rich in fibre, healthy fats, and lean proteins. Participants will learn to create meals that help stabilise blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and support overall wellbeing, all while keeping flavour at the forefront. With guidance from expert chefs and food scientists, the class demonstrates how thoughtful ingredient choices can transform everyday cooking into a powerful tool for diabetes management.

During the class, a selection of diabetes-friendly recipes will be prepared, such as:

• Baked Salmon with Herb-Infused Quinoa: rich in omega-3 fatty acids, this dish supports heart health while promoting insulin sensitivity.
• Lentil and Sweet Potato Tagine: a hearty, low-GI meal combining protein-packed lentils with anti-inflammatory sweet potatoes, ideal for balancing blood sugar levels.
• Mediterranean Chickpea Traybake: loaded with fibre, healthy fats, and lean proteins, this refreshing traybake helps maintain stable blood glucose and supports cardiovascular health.
• Turmeric-Spiced Lentil Dahl: a flavourful, anti-inflammatory dish that combines turmeric with fibre-rich lentils to support balanced blood sugar levels.

In addition to cooking techniques, the class provides insights into ingredient choices, portion control, and meal planning, helping participants make informed decisions that can improve daily life.

Designed for anyone looking to manage blood sugar levels without compromising on taste, this experience blends practical cookery skills with nutritional expertise, making it perfect as a unique gift for someone seeking a healthy lifestyle or culinary adventure.
