Fleur Williams has always lacked confidence in the kitchen but a community cooking class on Hobart's eastern shore is boosting her skills and self-esteem.

The class — called Gather Cook Grow — aims to teach people to prepare healthy and affordable food.

"I like how we sit and discuss things; different options in pantries, substitutes and stuff like that, because I hadn't learnt all that type of stuff until I came along here," she said.

"A lot of things like if you don't have the protein [such as meat], well you substitute with lentils."

A lady sits on a chair in a community house and smiles at the camera.
