About this course

Would you like to learn some new cooking techniques using fruit, brush up on your maths skills AND leave the lesson with some delicious desserts 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 different fruit-based dessert, 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 use more traditional dairy products if you like.

In our six relaxed and friendly sessions we will prepare:

Crumble with a range of filling and toppings
Pie, using pastry you will make yourself
Muffins and scones
Fruit tart
Baked and roasted fruit used in a variety of ways
A sponge cake filled and topped with fruit.

By the end of the course, you will have:

Prepared a range of desserts with fruit, making the most of fresh, frozen and tinned produce.
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.
