OBK supports beyondblue
Sydney’s Our Big Kitchen have hosted celebrity MasterChef Finalist Renae Smith and Nutritionist and Dietician Lyndi Cohen who shared their culinary skills and their personal insights into depression and anxiety.
Beyondblue volunteer speaker and former professional surfer Nicola Atherton shared her story in the hope it may motivate others to seek treatment if experiencing anxiety and depression.
A OBK spokesman said: “We believe in good nutrition, and good food can help people on their journey and as such we felt connected to this cause. OBK are all about nutritious food for a balanced and healthy lifestyle. We also believe cooking should be fun and the experience brings people
Many see Kitchen Therapy as a means of treating a wide range of health conditions and good nutrition can be beneficial for physical and mental health. OBK’s hosting of the beyondbluebash provided a fantastic opportunity to engage with the community, learn a few new skills and of course support this worthy cause.”
The interactive cooking event was well supported with over 50 people gathering to support the beyondbluebash @ Ourbigkitchen cook-in. Over $2,000 was raised for beyondblue and still counting.
