Free Cooking Sessions: Easy-Peasy Cooking Time

Easy-Peasy Cooking Time — Another round is here!

What started with Sally Vaughan volunteering at our Nosh and Natter events ended up becoming something truly special. Recognising that her values aligned perfectly with BFM's, Sally stepped up to lead Easy-Peasy Cooking Time — a free community cooking programme funded by Hubbub.

Over five fortnightly Wednesday sessions at  Salwayash Village Hall, participants cooked real food from scratch together — risotto, homemade pasta and ragù, falafels and flatbreads, soufflé omelettes, fritters and more. Every session ended sitting down to eat together, with plenty to take home. Participants kept a folder of printed recipes to build on at home.

Seven people completed the course — a lovely mix of ages and backgrounds — and feedback was glowing. Everyone felt they had learned new skills, and the social side was valued just as much as the cooking. Sally's warm, relaxed style made the sessions feel less like lessons and more like friends cooking together.

We have not received the funding for another round of these lovely sessions! Sally designs the timings of the course around those who want to join, so more information about where and when will be coming soon.
