Whether it’s a special occasion, such as Valentine’s Day, or even if it is not, this Dine On For 2 meal is a real treat.

You will make delicious Salmon en croute (succulent salmon, smothered in a tasty spinach and cream cheese topping and encased in light, crispy puff pastry), served with potatoes and vegetables. Then, indulge yourself with a rich sticky toffee pudding, with a smooth toffee sauce.

We’ll give you tips on presentation to recreate a perfect restaurant meal.

You will follow the recipe, using weights and measures to work with the ingredients and temperatures, and timings to cook. This session aims to help increase your confidence with numbers, develop your cookery skills, and highlight possible progression to further learning opportunities.

As part of the session you will compare the costs of shopping list items, look at the nutritional and calorific value of ingredients, and learn how to add your own, personal touches to your cooking.

What will I learn?

On this course, our tutor will guide you through the processes of preparing these recipes, giving you the confidence and skills needed to make them again. You will pick up some useful tips and tricks on how to present your dishes in the best way and also learn about the nutritional and cost benefits of home cooking.

How much will it cost?

This free course is funded through Muiltiply.
