We have successfully completed our first Bags of Taste programme and oh what fun it was for all the participants!
Bags of Taste aims to transform the lives of people by giving them the help and practical support they need to buy and cook tasty, healthy and affordable food. They make it easier for people to improve their diets, health, finances and skills so they can maintain a healthier lifestyle. Bags of Taste deliver a mentored cooking programme to participants over a number of weeks.
Harrogate Skills for Living worked with Bags of Taste this summer to deliver a programme to 10 eager participants. Staff and volunteers labelled and bagged up ingredients and cooking equipment to then deliver to participants so that cooking could commence!
Over a number of weeks participants cooked up a range of tasty meals with the support of mentors online. Everyone received a certificate on completion of the programme.
Participants have also now been added to the on-going Bags of Taste communication group to give them access to over 70 international healthy recipes costing £1 per portion, and shopping and cooking advice so they can carry on exploring and cooking up some tasty recipes.
Well done to everyone involved!
