Ignite your young person's passion for cooking with our exciting course in partnership with the Community Cook-Off Kitchen.

Under the guidance of professional chef Leila Hedjam and Charlotte Wall, founder of Community Cook-Off and a Police Officer in the Youth & Community Engagement Team, your young person will:

• Master fundamental culinary skills, including making bread and pasta from scratch

• Explore the art of flavouring and seasoning, developing their palate and creativity

• Gain in-depth knowledge about herbs and their uses in cooking

• Learn to prepare engaging dishes that challenge and excite their growing skills

The young people will work towards a thrilling culinary challenge throughout the term. In the final session, they will receive a mystery basket of ingredients and create their unique dish, putting their newfound skills and creativity to the test.

This course not only teaches valuable life skills but also nurtures:

• Creativity and problem-solving abilities

• Confidence in tackling complex tasks

• An appreciation for nutrition and healthy eating

• Teamwork and communication skills

Upon completion, your young person will receive a certificate recognising their achievement – a testament to their hard work and newly acquired culinary expertise.
