They ate: introducing our new queer cooking classes

Written By Joanna McLeod

Here at Wellington Pride Festival, we’re constantly working on ways that we can keep our kaupapa going throughout the year - not just for two weeks in March. We want to build close, uplifting queer community all across the city. And what better way to bring people together than with kai?

Working with funding from Lower Hutt City Council, we’re really excited to be able to start offering FREE cooking classes for our rainbow community. Learn some new skills, make some new friends and eat some great food. Win win win, right?

They Ate - Queer Cooking Classes will start out with a trial block of three classes, happening once a fortnight at Te Mako Naenae Community Centre. 

Each session of They Ate can take a maximum of 10 participants, and will run independently from other sessions, so you don’t need to have taken one to join the next. If classes fill up, we’ll wait list people in case positions open. 

The classes will be:

  • Wednesday 11 February, 6.30pm: Bulgogi beef lettuce wraps and basic sauce making

  • Wednesday 25 February, 6.30pm: Mediterranean Chicken with Couscous

  • Wednesday 11 March, 6.30pm: Sweet treat class! Blueberry lemon loaf and Pear Crumble
