Junior chefs will be preparing and cooking a range of interesting dishes under the supervision of an experienced chef lecturer. All sessions will be held in a professional kitchen at the college where high standards of Hygiene and Health and Safety are required.

Ingredients and uniform are provided and all food prepared can be taken home. A small contribution towards the cost of the food will be required each week.

The course is based on enjoyment, handling food, basic knife skills and learning to work in a professional kitchen with good hygienic standards.
