They will leave with a folder of simple, affordable but nutritious recipes and an enthusiasm for cooking. They will cook both individually and in pairs and will be shown how to plan and cook meals which will not break their budget. We will show the students how to make the most of cheaper cuts of meat and how to make nutritious, delicious and filling meals which will not take hours to prepare. They will cook their own lunches and will have prepared dishes to take away with them at the end of every day.
