Getting ready to fly the nest? Join us for a one-day, hands-on cookery class designed especially for students heading to university. Over 6 fun and practical hours, you’ll learn the essential kitchen skills and recipes you need to eat well, save money, and feel confident cooking for yourself.

This relaxed and beginner-friendly course covers the real-life basics — from making your own pasta sauces and batch-cooked meals, to mastering simple one-pot dishes and brilliant budget-friendly brunches. We’ll also show you how to get the most out of store-cupboard staples, eggs, and leftovers — and yes, there’s even time for microwave mug cakes!

You’ll learn how to:

• Make adaptable base sauces (tomato, white sauce, stir-fry)

• Cook pasta, rice and budget-friendly meals

• Master a few versatile one-pot dishes

• Use eggs for quick meals, brunches and bakes

• Make simple sweet treats in minutes

• Cook safely, store leftovers, and reduce food waste

You’ll eat what you cook for lunch, and take home recipe cards, tips, and a student survival guide to help you feel prepared for life in your own kitchen.

Perfect for school leavers, gap year students, and anyone heading to university for the first time!
