Free practical cooking worksheet
Seated-prep trial sheet
Break a recipe into preparation steps and record which parts can genuinely be done at a stable seated workstation in your own kitchen.
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.
