Free practical cooking worksheet
Kitchen work-zone planner
Map where prep, cooking, washing and storage happen, then identify carrying, reaching and repeated-trip points worth trialling differently.
These worksheets help you observe and plan a cooking task. They do not assess disability, capacity, rehabilitation need, supervision need, or whether a kitchen or recipe is safe for a particular person.
