Autistic adults and their mums learn new cooking skills

Cooked by Moms

, a social enterprise that empowers underprivileged women by celebrating their existing cooking skills, launched the first in a series of cooking workshops with a unique cooking workshop held at St Andrews College in Bandra.

A purely social initiative, the workshop series aims to empower the underprivileged communities by teaching them new skills, and adding to their culinary repertoire. Tying up with renowned chefs who want to give back using their skills, this initiative was launched with a workshop conducted by bakery specialist

Tarannum Aziz

.

Tarannum conducted a 3-hour workshop in which she taught two of her favorite recipes – black forest cake and cranberry & hazelnut chocolates. The participants were an enthusiastic bunch of nine

autistic adults

and their mums. The workshop was interactive and high on energy.

“I was really impressed by how focused, diligent and passionate the participants were, and truly enjoyed contributing my time and expertise for a good cause today,” shared Tarannum Aziz.
