Bake Well for Less

This course is for beginners who want to learn how to bake inexpensively: not just cakes but delicious breads, biscuits and pastries.

In a sociable environment we will prepare and measure ingredients and bake a range of deserts.

Students will master basic skills in the kitchen and learn about budgeting, food safety and hygiene, nutrition and sustainable living.

We will also talk about active living, recycling and re-using in the kitchen.
