Missed out? There's still time to get involved

Our Cookery School has officially launched, and what better way to kick things off than with a delicious stir-fried pork dish infused with ginger and honey?

In our first session, students gathered at Boldrewood Innovation Campus to learn new techniques, develop their cooking skills, and enjoy a hands-on experience in the kitchen.

Watch the highlights from our first event and see how our students got stuck in!

Led by our experienced chefs, the session was all about mastering a simple but flavour-packed recipe.

From slicing fresh ingredients to balancing sweet and savoury flavours, attendees left with newfound confidence in their culinary abilities. Whether you're a complete beginner or already comfortable in the kitchen, our Cookery School is designed to be a fun and interactive way to improve your skills.
