Cooking Workshops

Cooking for yourself from scratch is usually healthier, cheaper and tastier than relying on ready meals and takeaways.  However, this is a life skill that many of the people we support didn’t learn while they were growing up.  We started the Cooking Workshops to equip them with the culinary skills to look after themselves and to make healthy choices about what they eat.

The workshops run once a month and we try to use what is in season at the Gardening Project. We prepare the meal and then all eat together. So far the menu has ranged from Lasagne, to Victoria Sponge to Christmas Dinner. It has been great to hear our beneficiaries proudly tell of how they have recreated meals at home.
