About this course

Would you like to learn some new cooking techniques, brush up on your maths skills AND leave the lesson with some tummy warming food for you and your loved ones? If the answer is yes, then this is the course for you. During each session, in our brand-new custom-built teaching kitchen, you’ll learn how to cook a cosy winter recipe from scratch, as well as sneaking in a bit of related maths practice.

We’ll provide the ingredients and, as the course develops, you will be able to help decide what to cook. All the recipes we use will be plant based but with an option to make them meaty if you’d like.

In our five relaxed and friendly sessions we will prepare:

Stew and dumplings
Root vegetable bake
A trio of pasta sauces
Roasted veg – you choose what to turn it into
A variety of dishes using winter greens

By the end of the course, you will have:

Prepared a range of winter warmers and have lots of ideas for how to vary them.
Learnt how best to store them, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Used maths related to weighing and measuring.
Learnt how to scale a recipe up or down to feed more or less people.
Considered food budgeting and how to make the most of your food money.
Compared recipes and meals to the “Eatwell Guide” to ensure that all food groups are included

Whilst the type of dish we’ll make each week has been planned in advance we’d love to include what you want to make.

So if you have ideas for any of the above dishes that you would like to try please bring them along to the first session
