“I’ve always loved cooking, so as soon as I heard about the course, which was aimed at teaching young people how to make healthy and nutritious food from scratch, I jumped at the chance to take part,” explains Alice excitedly. “We learned so much; kitchen skills, how to plan a menu and the importance of using good quality local produce.”
The pair had to produce their own three course meal. Danny recalls “We decided to make carrot and coriander soup to start, rustic pork with all the trimmings for main, and a crème brulee for dessert. My suggestion of fresh fruit smoothies even got a special mention on the feedback cards!", adds a clearly chuffed Danny.
“I’m so pleased to have taken part in Ministry of Food; it was one of the best experiences I’ve had and it was great to get a new qualification to add to my CV”, says Alice. “It’s fantastic that Halton Goals gives us opportunities like this.”
