Description
All of our new Tailored Learning courses are matched to one of seven ‘purposes' which have been designed by the Department for Education to recognise the wider benefits of learning. Fancy a takeaway? Save some money, eat healthier and make a Fake-away instead! We will be preparing things like curry, Burgers, Tacos, Fish n Chips to name a few all from scratch. Come and share ideas and create exciting cheap dishes to enjoy with your family. You will make a variety of foods in a small group setting. Meet new people, learn new skills and try new foods! You will leave with the food cooked in class. You will learn how an Air-fryer works to prepare and cook simple, quick meals for less. With class discussion you and other learners will largely decide what foods are made. By the end of the course you will be equipped with many ideas, recipes and things to try in your Air-Fryer or cooker.
