Lisa Dickie

Are you a neuro-diverse adult and you want to be more independent? You want to learn how to shop, budget and cook and bake for yourself, BUT, you have no idea where to begin? I can teach you to be a master in the kitchen.

My name is Lisa Dickie. I used to be a Special Education Teacher and now I am the owner of Dickie’s Cooking School. In the past 5 years I have taught hundreds of people – from all ages, skill level and experience – how to confidently cook food they love to eat. I have designed cooking programs for teens and adults at CAMH, Community Living Toronto, Holland Bloorview and the Down Syndrome Association of Toronto. This course isn’t just about cooking, it’s about learning how to shop, plan, budget so that you can cook and bake with confidence.

By the end of this program, you will …

Know exactly what groceries to get for the week.

Grocery shopping can be overwhelming! You’ll learn how to plan your meals, make a grocery list, and grab what you need with ease. Plus, you’ll also have everything you need for the week!

Know how to choose the freshest products.

You’ll learn how to choose the FRESHEST produce and some tricks to keep it fresher longer.

Understand what goes into a healthy meal.

You’ll develop a basic sense of nutrition. You’ll understand why you need protein and fiber, how much fruit and vegetables you need to eat and how to prepare healthy and balanced meals.

Know how to keep your kitchen clean and safe.

You’ll know how to handle raw meat safely and learn how to clean all your surfaces for a safe and healthy kitchen.

Develop knife skills and learn how to chop like a pro!

A knife is an essential kitchen tool and learning how to use a knife properly makes cooking so much faster and more enjoyable. You’ll learn the best way to chop everything from onions and potatoes to even carving a roasted chicken.

Know how to use leftovers.

Not only will you learn how to cook loads of amazing meals, but you’ll also learn how to use leftovers so you can save time and not waste food. You’ll also learn when it is time to put leftovers in the compost.

Understand the basics of baking.

You’ll come to understand how to handle batter and dough depending on what you are baking and learn to bake your own amazing biscuits, muffins, cakes, and cookies.

Kathleen has developed knowledge, skills and confidence around nutrition, safe food handling, following recipes and food preparation, all while making unique and delicious meals that we get to taste. The secret ingredient in all this is Lisa. Her warmth and caring creates a very positive atmosphere and her sense of humor always makes the classes fun. I would highly recommend Dickies Cooking School.
Sally, Parent
Gus has gained so much confidence in the kitchen since cooking with Lisa. He enjoys cooking and baking. He has learned more than cooking. He has learned to plan a meal, determine what ingredients are needed, how much of the ingredients are needed and of course to make healthy choices. The food that he has learned to cook is delicious and healthy. I cannot thank Lisa enough for running this program!

Lisa is so special to me. She makes the classes so much fun. I am making great progress in acquiring skills and confidence.
