Please note that East Riding of Yorkshire Council is unable to guarantee a completely allergen free environment. If you would like more information prior to booking please contact us.

What do I need to bring with me to the first session?

Please bring an apron with you and a container with a lid to take home what you make. You will also need to bring with you the following ingredients:

• 350g skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cucumber
• 1 large tomato
• 1 large green or red chilli
• 2 onions
• 2 potatoes
• 1 small aubergine
• 1 small cauliflower
• 125g spinach leaves

You will only use a small portion of the aubergine and cauliflower, therefore, if you are attending with others 1 of each will cater for 4 people, otherwise you will have spare to take home with you.

What could I do next?

Our cookery classroom opened at the Cottingham Adult Learning Centre in December 2018. We're really excited to be able to offer a range of seasonal courses that appeal to 'first time cooks and bakers', learners who want to learn more specific skills and families who want to learn to cook family meals together. Your tutor will discuss our range of short part time courses and one off masterclasses with you including topics such as bread, biscuits, soups, batch cooking, desserts, family cookery, speciality world cuisine, healthy eating, meals on a budget and pastry making to name but a few.

Can we help you to learn?
