Whilst many of our students focus on academic qualifications, we also prioritise some of the independent living skills needed for life beyond College. One such skill is the ability to cook nutritious meals from scratch. With the cost of living ever on the rise, being able to budget appropriately for food and then cook – even batch cook – key meals using these key ingredients is vital.
We work with students to look at planning supermarket trips and then honing their culinary skills with the ingredients they have bought. As a way of demonstrating how much tastier, more nutritious and cheaper homemade burgers are than fast food options, one of our students made these delicious chicken burgers from scratch. No slacking on the washing up either – the kitchen was spotless again when they’d finished!
