For both levels you will be given an assignment for which you have to prepare and present a family meal.

How it’s taught
Group work activities, discussions, lots of practical work.

Topic Areas
You will study a wide variety of topics such as E numbers in food, food allergies and the Eat Well Plate.  Food from other cultures and countries from around the world.  Hopefully contribute to the Kettlebrook Cook Book too!

Homework
There will not be lots of homework on this course- maybe a bit of research for assessments.
