starter kitchen
all about learning how to cook basic everyday recipes. Residents learn basic culinary skills from each other, from food preparation to fundamentals of cooking.
Starter Kitchen brings people together to share basic cooking skills. From the essentials use of kitchen utensils to how to cook potatoes, eggs or make the perfect batter all within a relaxed and fun environment.
Starter Kitchen was created as a result of the Great Cook events held during the 2018 Spring programme in the Church Elm Lane shop. Some residents were very inexperienced and unconfident in the kitchen and suggested the idea of a basic skills session as a first step towards confidently cooking together.
A number of sessions were co-designed, providing a learning kitchen experience. A number of beginner culinary skills were covered; from measuring, mixing, chopping to following recipes and thinking of new recipes.
