Ravensburg March 2026: Cooking Workshops & Nutrition Talks

The Kreis Ravensburg area in Germany is offering a series of educational events focused on nutrition and cooking skills throughout March 2026. These workshops and online sessions aim to provide residents with practical knowledge and techniques for healthier eating and efficient food preparation.

Speed Cooking with Pressure Cookers

A workshop titled “Kochen mit Tempo – im Dampfdrucktopf” (Cooking with Speed – in the Pressure Cooker) will be held on either Tuesday, March 3rd, at Wangener Straße 70 in Leutkirch, or Wednesday, March 4th, at Schillerstraße 34 in 88339 Bad Waldsee. Led by Monika Wessle, the workshop will cover the safe and effective use of pressure cookers – also known as steam cookers or quick cookers.

Did You Know? Pressure cooking reduces cooking times and saves energy, while also preserving the aroma, taste and nutrients of food.

The workshop is designed for both beginners who may be apprehensive about using pressure cookers and experienced users looking to expand their skills. Participants will learn how to prepare complete meals using the “Turmgaren” (tower cooking) method, create quick one-pot dishes, and safely preserve or juice small quantities of food. The participation fee is 25€, and registration details are available at www.ernaehrung-oberschwaben.de. The registration deadline is seven days before the event.

Nutritious Food for Young Children

On Wednesday, March 11th, at 18:30, Andrea Geißler will host a free online lecture titled “Bärenstarke Kinderkost” (Bear-Strong Children’s Food). The session will focus on transitioning babies to solid foods and providing guidance on appropriate food choices for young children. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions. Registration and further information can be found at www.ernaehrung-oberschwaben.de, with a registration deadline three days prior to the event.

A two-part basic cooking course, “Basic Cooking,” will be offered on Fridays, March 20th and 27th, at the Ernährungszentrum Bodensee-Oberschwaben, located at Wangener Straße 70, 88339 Leutkirch. The course, led by Manuela Schmied, is aimed at beginner cooks and will cover fundamental recipes, ingredient modification, shopping, and meal planning. No prior cooking experience is required. The cost to participate is 50€, and registration details are available at www.ernaehrung-oberschwaben.de. The registration deadline is seven days before the first session.
