00:00In Hobart's northern suburbs, busy hands are getting to work, scouring leafy vines and
00:11sampling fresh produce to turn into something delicious.
00:15I think we're going to put this in a salad.
00:18We're chopping up some duquamelons and tomatoes and I just chopped up some basil.
00:22The ingredients don't have far to travel, thanks to a new commercial kitchen, now open
00:28just metres away.
00:30This is the fruition of a long term plan to have a purpose built facility.
00:34Each week the space will be filled by students involved in the 24 karat gardens program.
00:39This one's a cute small one too.
00:42For workshops taking produce from the onsite market garden and turning it into nutritious
00:48meals.
00:49This is fabulous to be able to grow the food, cook it in a commercial kitchen environment
00:54and then share it.
00:56It teaches you skills that hopefully will inspire some of the children.
01:01The kitchen will also be used for community events and catering and formal training and
01:07apprenticeship opportunities are planned.
01:09The kitchen is the latest addition to the material institute in Bridgewater, which already includes
01:15a beauty science lab that opened in 2023.
01:19It's really essential actually because it gives exposure to all different opportunities
01:24and different professionals in the space, different people they can interact with and
01:28things they can look forward to in their future life as adults.
01:32While the initial focus of the kitchen is its student workshops and existing public events,
01:37a future goal is to open up the space to the public more broadly as a social enterprise cafe.
01:42I want them to feel proud, I want them to walk in and say wow and then take charge, just take
01:50over and run the place.
