Two new cookery courses are being launched to encourage and empower families to learn how to cook cheap, healthy and tasty meals from scratch.
Bedford Borough Council’s Family Hubs has partnered with Bedford-based Community Interest Company (CIC) Food etc to offer parents, young people and children cookery workshops to give them the skills to make nourishing and cost-effective meals.
Dad’s Dinner is aimed at fathers and children and will be held at various venues in and around Bedford. Kinder Kitchen courses are for nursery school children and their parents and will take place at several Children’s Centres in cooperation with the Early Childhood Partnership.
Food etc Founder and Director Julie Clay said: “Our fantastic team of volunteers is doing amazing work across Bedford Borough.
“Food etc is a relatively new organisation and we are keen to work with a variety of communities to see what has the most impact as well as to support the council’s priorities. Working together means we can bring real benefits to disadvantaged people across the town.”
Bedford Borough Council Family Hubs Project Coordinator Ruth Preece said she was confident the courses would prove to be popular and successful.
“Food etc is gaining a great reputation for delivering a variety of courses for children, young people and families that help them to cook and eat better together, so we are really pleased to be partnering with them,” she said.
