Cooking

Cookery clubs can be set up in almost any environment with a few essential items; even cooking without an oven is possible. However, to ensure that the club runs without a hitch it's essential you have everything in place well ahead of the start date. This section of the toolkit gives you an overview of things you need to consider

before you start a cookery club and an idea of what's involved, from recruiting adult helpers and members, to session planning, health and safety procedures and more.
