We are running the following cookery courses as part of the Berkhamsted School Base Camp programme this year. We would like to warmly welcome children from all schools who enjoy cooking to come along and develop their culinary skills.
Our courses have been designed so that young people, of all abilities, will come away with the confidence and enthusiasm to prepare and cook a variety of different meals for their friends and family. We have over 5 years of experience running cookery courses for children and young adults and look forward to sharing our interest and passion in food.
We will be based in the Food Technology Lab, Castle Campus, Berkhamsted School and this venue has the very best facilities and environment in which to learn to cook. All the ingredients, recipes, equipment and lunch are provided and everyone will go home with their own free recipe booklet
