The Ministry of Food campaign is about changing the way we eat. We all need to know how to cook, to make sure our children don’t grow up on a diet of processed food – at school or at home – and so they won’t have to battle obesity and diet-related illnesses when they grow up. Cooking is one of the most important skills a person can have. It has been proven that families who cook together eat better. A small change in your kitchen could save the life of someone you love. We need to do something now, before it’s too late.
Jamie Oliver wants to prove that anyone can learn to cook – that it’s fun, cool, can save you money and can help you, your family and friends to live a healthier life. Jamie’s Ministry of Food Rotherham re-opened in September 2014, funded by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.
Rotherham’s Ministry of Food is operated by not-for-profit organisation – Zest Health for Life. Zest offers support and opportunities to people living in disadvantaged areas of Yorkshire. Their vision is ‘happier, healthier, stronger communities’
Cooking courses for the general public in the Rotherham area, aged 16 and over.
We hold weekly classes for a total of eight weeks. Each lesson lasts 1 and a half hours. You will learn to prepare and cook lots of healthy affordable meals.
You will be taught to cook a variety of different meals by our qualified trainers. We start off with basic recipes, and build up to cooking more advanced dishes. You will gain loads of handy hints and tips to help you become an expert in the kitchen!
We currently have courses running throughout the day, from Monday to Saturdays. The courses are run in a friendly atmosphere with a great mix of recipes and people.
You can pay £7.50 per week, or £60 for the full course. Students, or people in receipt of benefits pay a discounted rate of £4.50 a week or £35 for the full course.
Please bring along some food containers to take home all the lovely food you make, as well as an apron (although we can provide these if needed). Please also bring payment if you are paying for your session on a weekly basis.
