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.

Reviews

My son has just completed The Duke of Edinburgh cookery course available through Delicious and Real. He really enjoyed the course; as did the family - we all benefited! He was able to work independently with the help of the You Tube video's, the meals he cooked were delicious, we had a night off cooking each week and we got to taste some new recipes. He really enjoyed cooking, learning new things, it improved his confidence in his cooking skills and he was proud of the results. I would recommend!

The cooking skills course Claire offers is brilliant for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Your child can go at their own pace and in the comfort of their own home. The recipes are documented well with colour photographs and are really easy to follow, even with no cooking experience. The course, while fulfilling a D of E experience, has also taught my daughter some great life skills.
