What better way to warm up on a winter’s night or to enjoy a family gathering than with a Mexican feast! If you enjoy Mexican food and wish you could make this yourself at home then this course is definitely for you. You will have the opportunity to work with our tutor and learn to make Tortillas, Burritos and Fajitas. During this session you will learn more about the nutritional and cost benefits of homemade cooking, take home what you make and receive recipe cards for the items you cooked so you are ready to make these again at home.

What are you doing to keep learners safe?

The safety of our learners and staff is our top priority and we’ve made some big changes to our centres, from socially-distanced training rooms to staggered start times. Although things will look different, our staff will be as friendly and helpful as ever and we’re really excited to welcome learners back.

If you’re concerned about visiting one of our centres, please get in touch so we can discuss it with you.

What do I need to join the course?

Just an enthusiasm to learn and a willingness to have a go.
