Our Home Cooking Skills courses aim to give every young person the basic skills and knowledge to be able to cook for themselves in a healthy, cost-effective way, learn basic practical cooking skills as well as gain the confidence to share these skills with friends and family. Cooking is an essential life skill, empowering us to make changes that benefit our health and wellbeing.
