“It’s been fantastic to see so many people cooking together during our online sessions.”

Funded by Tesco Bags of Help, the course develops fundamental cookery skills over four weeks.

Participants will be invited to a live session to discuss the recipe, crafted by UKHarvest’s in-house nutritionist Jo Williams, and learn vital skills before receiving a recipe card and cook-a-long video.

Liz Woodsell, UKHarvest chief operating officer, said: “The demand on our services has grown exponentially over the last year, supporting those who continue to face challenges through lockdown restrictions.

“We continue to focus on the health and wellbeing of the people in our community, introducing new, fun and educational learning activities based around food and nutrition.”

UKHarvest has moved its education sessions online during the coronavirus lockdowns as part of its mission to ‘Nourish our Nation’ by eliminating hunger and food waste across southern England.

The charity provides free food to charities and organisations helping those most in need, as well as providing engaging education to help cook delicious and nutritious meals.
