This food option aims to help you develop your cooking skills and unlock your inner Masterchef! During the course you will get the chance to prepare exciting, tasty, healthy and attractive dishes. The option is for anyone who enjoys good home cooked food and who would like to be more confident with their cooking and develop their knowledge of food and health.
Based in the food technology department, the two hour sessions will enable us to be quite ambitious with the dishes we prepare. We can be flexible according to the preferences of the group and modify the recipes to accommodate personal taste.
There will be 8 practical cooking sessions and you need to be committed to providing most of the ingredients required. We will try to keep costs to a minimum and will provide the more unusual ingredients.
There will be 4 challenges to complete on the weeks you do not cook these will cover healthy eating, safe food preparation, cooking skills, food shopping and storage. The final “Masterchef” challenge will be to plan a meal based on a basket of ingredients which you will make in your final practical session.
The course should equip you with life skills and give you the confidence to cook for yourself and to entertain and cook for others.
Each term we will cook for, or with, members of our local community. You will also have the opportunity to join the Huntington School “Cook Club” as a volunteer leader.
Above all, we will have fun experimenting with modern ideas and sharing the ‘fruits of our labour’.
When: Wednesday afternoon
