Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Cooking Skills Programme Summer 2020

Children love to cook, and with classes limited in schools during the present climate, Steph’s well-established D of E Cooking Skills Programme will inspire young people to be able to create delicious food, whilst gaining essential life skills and confidence building experiences that will last a lifetime. Good nutrition, tasty recipes, kitchen hygiene and time management are all at the heart of the experience and of course having fun in the kitchen!!! Students will achieve the evidence required for the Bronze/Silver Duke of Edinburgh life skills section.

The course runs over a 12-week period with interactive cook along sessions every Tuesday/Thursday on Zoom. All the recipes are provided as well as step-by-step tuition from Steph. Students will see each other online and be encouraged to photograph their dishes, plus fill in the pack provided for evidence.

As a former teacher of Food and Nutrition at Weydon Secondary School, Steph will be able to complete the online assessment report at the end of the course.

Classes are fun, informal and provide students with a fantastic opportunity to try a diverse selection of recipes. A recipe file will be provided.

Cost: £175 for the twelve-week course. Max 8 Students.

Spaces fill up fast so book early. Start date and time determined to fit in with the group.
