Budgeting and cookery skills
Our budgeting and cookery course.
Our course is run in partnership with RCS Andover. This is a free course teaching people cookery skills and household budgeting tips to help make tight budgets stretch further. Typically, we look at the basics of cookery, budgeting, hygiene and nutrition.
You don’t need to know how to cook before you come. Recipes are demonstrated to participants before they attempt to make it themselves, covering dishes like a quick soup, basic tomato sauces and treats like crumbles too. It’s very relaxed, you’ll cook with us and take home what you make. We also cover a range of subjects surrounding cooking and budgeting, including menu planning, portion sizes, money planning, ‘supermarket psychology’ and tips on picking up bargains. We all learn together in a small group, so people can share their own skills and experience too. The course is fun and informal, and it’s a great way to discover new tips and techniques on how to cook quick, healthy meals on a low budget.
