Jamie's Ministry of Food has paused face-to-face learning and now offers all classes online, to comply with social distancing requirements.
The ministry, which was started by English chef Jamie Oliver, lets kids and parents cook along from their own kitchens.
More than 19,000 budding chefs from across the state have so far participated.
"Local residents from Ipswich, Logan and surrounds have been hugely supportive of Jamie's Ministry of Food from the beginning," Good Foundation chief executive Siobhan Boyle said.
"We are looking forward to launching our new virtual offering and are sure it will spark the same interest and passion in the community."
"We will also be creating virtual hubs so we can maintain our close connection to local communities, especially those we weren't able to reach through our physical centres and mobile kitchens."
Online classes will follow the same format as the face-to-face classes. Registrations are now open on the Jamie's Ministry of Food website.
Over five sessions, participants will learn to make key recipes that cover every meal.
Taught by professional food trainers via a live interactive video chat, participants will learn knife skills and techniques to make it simpler and quicker to cook delicious meals on a budget.
Participants will learn how to bring the best flavours out of fresh ingredients and how-to meal plan on a budget.
For kids aged three to 12, Jamie Oliver's Learn Your Fruit and Veg Program will be also offered online. The virtual program will run as 30 minute sessions, over four days.
