Great course with a variety of easy to follow and adapt dishes that all teenagers/ young adults will benefit from. My daughter has done the Back to Uni course as part of her DofE Bronze Award. She really enjoyed cooking the dishes and has cooked many of them several times since. Some will become family favourites, I am sure. Thank you very much, Be, for this amazing course.

Beginner Cooking Skills for Life
These courses were originally set up for DofE students, but they are fantastic for so many others including younger children with adult supervision, home-schooling students and parents and adults who would like some excellent value professional cookery lessons from the convenience of their own homes.
I'm really proud of my experience which has given me the tools to support you all.
If you’re finding yourself nodding along to all this, you’re not alone…
My purpose in life is to teach adults (young and old) to cook and I love it!
My students learn, using professional chef skills, how to cook amazing recipes that are simple, fun and rewarding.
I'm a specialist teacher because I have an extraordinary background and I focus on teaching with nutrient-dense ingredients for great health.
In 2022 I qualified as a nutrition therapist because I know how powerful food is and I want to be in the best health myself and to pass that on to my students. I can now be sure that I am offering the best tuition, providing recipes that are not only delicious but are nutrient-focused.
The journey has got to be fun and you can join me also in my 'Be in the Kitchen DofE Online Cookery Skills Course' Facebook Group to see what students are getting up to.
