Batch Cooking (Community Cookery)
About this class
Who can attend? People who can attend an in-person cookery session. Attendees must be either social housing residents, on means-tested benefits, have a long-term physical or Mental health condition or be older people living alone (50+)
This class will celebrate the benefits of batch cooking – to reduce meal costs, learn to cook wholesome healthy meals, spend just a few hours cooking for the whole week, minimise food waste and cut down the amount of packaging and plastic waste produced.
Cooking in pairs, our Community Cookery Leader will show you how to batch cook and portion your meals so that they can be properly stored/frozen; allowing you to have a ready-cooked homemade dinner available whenever you need it.
A typical lesson will include:
- Meal planning for the whole week (ensuring that they are nutritious and balanced)
- A cooking session (batch cooking for the whole week)
- Preparing nutritious and tasty snacks (savoury and sweet)
- Meals to package up and take home after the lesson.
Join us for a relaxing and friendly session and leave with new skills and inspiration.
