Learn to Cook for Teenagers - ideal for teenagers who want to learn to cook!
The Learn To Cook cookery courses are a series of hands on classes aimed at teenagers [aged 13yrs+]. The courses take place in a relaxed home kitchen with maximum attention given to students. Each student will undertake each cooking technique individually over the 4 course dates as well as work as part of a team in the kitchen. Appropriate knife skills are included across the different days.
These cookery courses are ideal for teenagers to learn to cook useful, tasty food as well as to gain some background cookery skills. The aim is to equip students with useful skills for life - planning meals so that they eat well, understanding which produce is more expensive, how to use different produce, seasonal eating and also how sociable and how much fun food can be!
We will cover basic cookery skills, background knowledge, plus lots of hands on cooking. The group will also try all the dishes that they have cooked. A "tasting" meal is included and also a recipe and detailed information pack to take away. All produce, equipment and use of aprons is included.
Each series of classes takes place over 4 consecutive days with each day covering a different theme. Minimum days to be booked per student is 2 [so you can book Days 1 and 2 together and then come back for 3 and 4 later if you wish]. Days 1 and 2 will cover quick, easy meals with accompaniments such as pasta, rice and potatoes. Day 3 will specialise in fish and shellfish and Day 4 will focus on meat and poultry. Recipes will vary according to produce in season at the time.
The courses will take place from 10am until 3.30pm
The menus will focus on relatively simple, healthy meals that will be useful for the students to cook for the family and will also stand the young people in good stead when they leave home or have to fend for themselves. Menus will be based around specific produce/skills for each day but it will be kept simple with the focus on producing easy meals rather than using complicated technical skills for long-winded dishes. The final menu for each day will be decided nearer the date and any food allergies will be taken into account [please contact me for advice if your son/daughter has special dietery requirements]. Background skills, ingredient and basic nutritional information will also be included.
