Learn cooking skills
Community Cooking Classes
Improving cooking skills within communities is no easy task. Our aim is to give people the opportunity, skills and confidence to access a healthy diet for themselves, their families and their communities. We aim to achieve this by working closely with organisations and services to access funding and offer enjoyable initiatives that address health inequalities and barriers (affordability, cooking skills and culture) to healthy eating.
We have worked with a cross-section of communities. Universities, schools, faith groups, charities, local authorities, sports clubs and supermarkets. We seek to engage people who don’t normally access health services and where possible establish and support health trainers to provide sustainability and new activities for their community. Contact us today and let’s work in partnership.
Community Cooking Classes
Our Community Cooking Classes can be tailored for your audience wishing to learn how to shop on a budget, cook and eat healthy foods. All food ingredients, food containers and recipe cards are included in the price. We are based in Nottingham but can facilitate our cooking courses at your location, providing you have an adequately equipped kitchen.
All our recipes are plant-based and are low in fats, sugars and salts, making them ideal recipes for individuals with dietary-related illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol.
