Our Kitchen Survivors courses are designed to suit many people, especially young adults leaving home for the first time, having to experience cooking for themselves and surviving on a budget and those past the student stage who would like to understand the basics.

For many years we have been preparing young students by giving them the basics so they can eat healthily and most importantly SAVE MONEY! From individual private tuition to group courses we have plenty to offer anyone, who is a novice and would like to pick up some great recipes, skills and tips.

Specific Group Courses for students 16+
For those going off to Uni or college for the first time, or for those who are moving out of halls and into self-catering for the first time it can be a daunting prospect if you have little or no experience in the kitchen.

For parents too it can be very stressful, knowing that their teenage children are having to look after themselves for the first time ever.

Help is at hand with our Kitchen Survivors group courses – realistically priced, short courses designed to teach the basics and give ideas for easy, nutritious and tasty meals that can be prepared quickly and on a limited budget.

We’ll give handy hints on food hygiene, and practical, hands-on tuition on a range of techniques and dishes designed to build confidence in the kitchen and develop a broad range of useful skills.

The first day of the course covers essential hygiene, and gives invaluable tips for shopping on a budget, preparing in advance, safe storage of foods etc., followed by hands-on guidance to help you produce 3 different dishes.

On the second day you’ll be working on a broad selection of recipes, with tips and hints on how to adjust ingredients to give other alternatives, so that by the end of the two day course you’ll have produced a range of different menu ideas which can form the basis of a healthy, balanced diet that is home cooked, nutritionally far superior to ready meals and a whole lot kinder to your student budget too!
