We vary the recipes in each course from time to time, so don’t publish the full list of recipes in advance. Each recipe has a vegetarian option. Some examples of the recipes on the cookery course include Greek Spaghetti, Chicken Stir Fry, Falafel Wraps, Apple Crumble, Victoria Sponge. Examples from the baking course include Cheese Drop Biscuits, Fruit Muffins, Cherry Banana Loaf cake.

The online classroom we use allows students to submit written or photographic files so that you can provide an update on how you got on with each recipe. We love to see how each student is making progress. We can offer feedback or respond to any questions you may have about each recipe.

We have recipes on all of our cookery courses that include vegetarian dishes (offering a vegetarian alternative whenever a dish contains meat). We also offer a full course that only includes vegetarian dishes.

We cannot provide the cost of ingredients for each recipe. We have devised each recipe to to be cost conscious and have, where possible, included basic ingredients that many people will already have in their cupboards or can buy from a wide range of stores.

We provide an online classroom environment in which students ask questions or seek help with any recipe.

Unfortunately, we do not offer in-person cookery courses. All courses are online and include recipes that can be prepared at home using standard utensils and kitchen appliances.

Our recipes are designed for ages 13 and upwards. Most recipes could also be made by children younger than this if an adult was helping and supervising, especially where the use of knives or hot appliances are required.

After you have paid for a course, you will receieve an email containing confirmation of your course payment and instructions on how to register in the online classoom. You can then start the course as soon as you like. Each course takes 3 months to complete.

The online classoom uses Google Classroom, which requires a google account to access. If you do not already have a google account (e.g. Gmail), you can register using the instructions provided from this Google help website page https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/27441?hl=en

Students can upload photos of their completed recipe using the online Google Classroom page.

Students are welcome to customise recipes for personal preferences or any dietary requirements. We love to see what our students come up with!
