A group of high school students is using a defunct tuck shop to create medically tailored meals that are low in sodium and gluten free, while learning to cook themselves.
They cook for people with nutritionally sensitive health conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.
The scheme at Newlands College in Wellington - known as Rourou Kai Ora - was set up by GP Luke Wilson, along with primary school teacher Jenny Neill and performance coach Andy Duncan.
While in it's early stages and serving just a small group of patients, the charity is modelled on the Ceres Community Project in California that involves about 500 young people.
Luke Wilson joins Kathryn to talk about the charity's hopes to expand.
