Course overview
Course description
This course is designed to promote individual confidence and independence through cooking. Each week there will be a chance to prepare and cook food that is eaten at celebrations from around the world and different religious festivals. You will be encouraged to work together, or individually, to prepare and cook a variety of savoury and sweet dishes. Each dish will represent a special festive or religious occasion. The reasons behind each of the celebrations and festivals will be researched and discussed within the group. You will look at what foods and flavours are associated with each festival and celebration. You will discuss your favourite festivals, foods, and flavours. You will decide which is your favourite celebration/s and what are your favourite foods and flavours to eat to celebrate. Each member of the group will have the opportunity to put forward a celebration or festival that they would like to cover in the sessions and food, or dish, they would like the group to prepare in one of the sessions. You will all be encouraged to research what festivals around the world are celebrated in the autumn term and why certain foods and dishes are eaten then.
