Meeting the needs of the Skills section of your award
Duke of Edinburgh courses can be arranged on demand and involve one class per month for 3-6 months, plus “homework” for the cooks to work on in between the classes.
The course is an ideal introduction to cookery skills to set young people up with a repertoire of recipes to take away with them when they leave home. Cooks will have the confidence to feed themselves and cook for others too.
Presuming no prior kitchen skills, this is the perfect class for those heading off to university or moving out of home. In it we will arm you with a repertoire to feed yourself for a week on a budget of £50, with a menu of quick and easy dishes for nutritious meals on a budget.
Our Impress Your Mates Menu covers –
Pad Thai
Nachos with Salsa, Sour cream and Guacamole dips
Quesadillas
Chicken Tikka Masala
Chunky Vegetable and Orzo soup
Chunky Chocolate Brownie
The exact menu can be created ahead of the day by the chef(s) & we can cook virtually anything you fancy!
We will use a minimum of equipment to ensure that these dishes can be created without this expense. We will briefly talk about basic food hygiene to make sure you know how to store your food safely & cook without causing harm to yourself or those you cook for.
The class can either be delivered for a group of friends (4 -6 cooks) or on a one-to-one basis.
Cost: for students 25 years old or younger £185, duration 1 day (4 hours). This class can also be taken by over 25 year olds, costing £225, or in a group (4-6 cooks) £135 per person, duration 2 days (8 hours).
These costs include all ingredients & equipment. Please contact us to arrange a suitable date.
