Free cookery lessons for the over 55s have been organised in Keynsham and the Chew Valley, with the six-week ‘Cook and Eat’ courses being run by Age UK B&NES and Adult Community Learning at Bath College.
“We’ve already run similar courses at The Hub in Midsomer Norton and they were so popular we’ve decided to run sessions in Keynsham and Chew Magna too,” said Ketyn Jepson from Age UK B&NES.
“Whether you’re a skilled cook whose nutritional knowledge could do with a brush-up, or you don’t know how to turn the cooker on, this course can help.
“Courses will be led by a qualified Community Learning Tutor and all ingredients and equipment will be provided.
“At the end of each session, those taking part will share and eat the dishes they have made together.”
In Keynsham the course will take place on Mondays from 11am to 2pm at Community @67, Queens Road.
It starts on 29th February and will run on 7th, 14th, 21st March and 4th, 11th April.
The Chew Magna Cook and Eat course will run at Chew Magna Baptist Church Hall, Tunbridge Road on Fridays, from 11am to 2pm on the following dates: 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th April, and 6th May.
