Duke of Edinburgh Awards.. Bronze, Silver and Gold
A few years ago I was asked to mentor a teenager through her experience for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. It has been very rewarding and I have seen her grow to be a very responsible young woman and have hopefully equipped her to face the world with cookery skills that firstly will help her keep to a budget whilst cooking at university and all through her life, and of course she has great pleasure in eating freshly-cooked food.
This experience has also helped to instill discipline in being punctual for our meetings, tidy in the kitchen, and given her a freedom to taste and develop recipes and a confidence to try new dishes. She will always be a survivor and a leader.
I have enjoyed it immensely and hope I may be able to assist others to achieve the same.
How I run it
We are required to do a number of hours to achieve the experience required. I divided this into 2-3 hour meetings. It was often 3 hours as, eg, bread needs time to rise and prove again.
Although I only taught one person, I would be pleased to teach up to 3 people.
Do not hesitate to contact me. I would be delighted to assist. I would discuss pricing with you then.
