The Neighbourhood Cook

Throughout the year Don and Jan will be running cooking sessions on a variety of topics. This would be a perfect course for anyone wanting to learn basic cooking skills, use fresh ingredients, keep costs down and make meals go further. Not to mention cooking can be a very enjoyable experience, especially when doing it with a small group of people!
