Course Info

Eileen realises that there are a lot of children and people with additional needs who are unable, due to COVID, to attend workshops or onsite cookery classes. So she used her prior experience in working with these clients to make some professional pre-recorded online courses which can be followed with assistance from family or carers online in their own home. The recipes are based on the Just Look and Cook Book series. The lessons vary in length and difficulty with a short easy one at the beginning, to allow the participants start the course gently.
