"I Can Cook!" Is a course that's all about empowering young People in the kitchen. It is a transformative program aimed at equipping youth with the essential skills and knowledge to cook nutritious, balanced meals confidently.

Far too often, young adults venture out on their own without basic culinary know-how, perpetuating stereotypes about cooking roles. This course challenges those stereotypes by emphasizing the importance and attractiveness of culinary proficiency for all.

Beginning with kitchen fundamentals like hygiene and cooking basics, we move onto skills such as poaching eggs and crafting homemade stock, participants progress to mastering wholesome meal planning and execution. Through hands-on sessions, students cultivate the ability to prepare impressive dinner party menus while understanding the significance of providing nourishing meals.

We commence with the introductory lesson - then extend into a comprehensive 5-week exploration of essential food groups, including stocks, soups, salads, pasta, eggs, rice, seafood, meats, roasts, and desserts. Emphasizing health, safety, and social equality, each student emerges equipped with vital kitchen techniques and a newfound appreciation for the art of cooking.
