Food Literacy Workshops
The intervention is a food literacy workshop comprising 4 sessions held once every 2 weeks, up to 3 hours each. The main workshop themes are: 1) Practical ways to prepare simple and healthy meals; and 2) Basic nutrition knowledge related to the meals prepared, such as their nutrient components, links to chronic conditions and short/long-term health effects. These sessions include hands-on food preparation, tasting sessions, talks, group discussions and/or question and answer. Hands-on food preparation will focus on 'no-equipment' or 'light cooking' recipes. Food tasting involves everyday ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, proteins, nuts, seeds, spices, grains, and condiments. Group discussions will be facilitated by a study team member and will revolve around the specific themes of the workshop delivered on that day.
