Innov8 Cook encourages students to learn the valuable life skill of cooking
At innov8 Workshops, we want young people to have access to life skills such as cooking. We want them to learn and expand their cooking skills, and take the opportunity to be creative, try new foods and share those with the team.
What We Do
As part of the workshop, a questionnaire is completed before the first session. This gives the young people the opportunity to disclose any dietary requirements, but also to express their interests and ideas.
The workshop then allows the students to either follow a recipe to the letter or trying going freestyle. The workshop teaches the students to use ingredients for multiple purposes, and to plan to ensure they limit waste.
We encourage them to step out of their comfort zone, and take an experimental approach to cooking. Allowing the students to have the space to experiment and grow their confidence in the kitchen is one of the highlights of the workshop.
Students come to the workshop with recipes they wish to cook and learn to understand the importance of preparation and maintaining food hygiene standards.
