Community cooks taster course

This taster course is aimed at people who work in community kitchens or similar as we explore the benefits of cooking healthier plates of food and discuss cultural connections through food and how we can enhance meals to boost health. This taster course has been developed by culinary medicine UK to assist community cooks who work with older adults, cultural community groups or in schools. Participants will get an introduction on how to add nutritional value to popular dishes and how to cater around special dietary requirements for people wanting to lose weight or with a medical condition such as diabetes. This session is taught by a dietician and Chef lecturer with a blended approach of on line and practical cooking skills in our kitchen at Westminster Kingsway College (Victoria centre)
