Session 5 - Time to bake!

5 weeks in and the supported cookery classes at East Surrey College are now a really important part of the week for the members of the Pro Active Community completing this.

Each Tuesday, 2 hours with Nicola Hoad, Head Chef extraordinaire, flies by as the members of the group are now all very familiar with their working kitchen, comfortable asking questions, and becoming more and more competent with following the easy read instructions.

Nicola has created such skillful recipes and made instructions easier to take step by step, visual help means those unable to read have a way to cook along, feeling included.

Marbled chocolate orange muffins and a lemon drizzle were on the menu at this session, goodness the kitchen smelled amazing!

2 more sessions to go, ending with a graduation ceremony on 18th June, it’s been brilliant watching the development and ability blossom.

Next week we will invite participants to the first steering group of those wanting to explore creating more supported courses from September/October. Perhaps some Beauty, woodwork or floristry?!

🎉Exciting times ahead.
