Taking a D of E online cookery course is an excellent choice for the skills requirement of your bronze, silver or gold Duke of Edinburgh award.
The 3 or 6 month cookery course contains 30 simple recipes and the associated cooking tutorial videos; that’s enough for you to choose one a week for your chosen duration. There is a mixture of sweet and savoury and there should be enough variety to suit most tastes!
The 12 month course, contains the same 30 simple videos (in part 1); and then has 12 recipes that build on the recipes that have been cooked in part 1 – this section teaches the children how to take a recipe and adapt it creating a new dish. Part 3 is all about independence: it contains 12 new recipes that build on the skills that they have already learnt.
When you have completed the required number of weekly sessions, I will sign off your skills section – you just need to email me the photos of all of your dishes (I will send you details of how to do this when you register).
Through my D of E kitchen, you will gain valuable life skills, work on your organisational skills and have the opportunity to express yourself creatively.
