This course was inspired by my own experience of sending my eldest off to university when I realised just how important it is for young adults to be able to feed themselves as they have to be fully self-reliant for the first time. I created this course to help them take charge of their own health and wellbeing, giving them simple, essential cooking skills they can rely on — not just at uni, but for life.
