A Queensland woman is bringing people from all walks of life together by going back to basics.

For Jason Edwards, who lives with disability, cooking is a passion and skill the 38-year-old hopes to enjoy in his own kitchen.

The central Queensland man has clocked up 20 years between two major supermarkets stacking milk, pushing trolleys and greeting customers.

After working up an appetite at bowls each Wednesday, Mr Edwards heads to cooking class.

Former home economics teacher, Amanda Rickard has opened a business offering cooking, sewing and gardening classes to people of all ages and abilities.

From kids classes and private lessons with NDIS participants to business bookings and cook and dine nights – Ms Rickard said the demand had been overwhelming.
