Cookery Class

We LOVE food and LOVE learning how to create good food so much so that we’ve produced our own cookbook called Recipes for Success. Our cookbook featured on Sky News and in Cheshire Life as our members were the stars of the book showcasing their chosen recipes.

Our New Chefs and Super Chefs enjoy their cooking club every Tuesday afternoon and learning to cook meals that they can make again at home either by themselves or with a little support. They are learning how to safely use appliances, how to safely chop and how to season and add flavour to dishes. Our chefs also have their own jobs which are all vital in a working kitchen including cleaning down the tables, washing the dishes and preparing the table for eating.

The cookery clubs are led by our Food Technology teacher Kerry and are supported by our super team of volunteers.

An important part of the cookery clubs like every kitchen is the eating itself as we all gather round a table to enjoy the efforts of what has been lovingly made and its always great to see clean plates all round!

Tuesday
New Chefs 12.30pm - 2.30pm
Super Chefs 3pm – 5pm

Testimonials

‘Our daughter Catherine joined in with the Creating Adventures activities 2 and a half years ago starting with the cookery sessions. She absolutely loves these and has just begun to try cooking at home. She has learnt to work with others in the group which is great, as she can be inclined to be a little solitary. Catherine is hypotonic and her fine motor skills have improved with practise in chopping etc, and her general adroitness has increased. She has gained confidence in her ability to produce something beyond tinned soup and toast! More recently Catherine joined the choir (after a lot of persuasion) and is really enjoying that too. Again, she is becoming part of a group of peers, and this has increased her confidence too. As her parents, we enjoy watching her become more independent and form relationships outside the family circle.’
