This course is for parents/carers and up to 2 children to do together.
Each week, you’ll learn to prepare a different meal from scratch and take it home to share with your family—showcasing your new skills! All ingredients are provided free of charge, and we cater for all dietary requirements, intolerances, and allergies. Every recipe is designed to serve four people.
