Feedback:
Go along and learn something new, have a laugh and

Really enjoyed it and would have loved to do another few

The course is brilliant and you learn a lot
Learns you alot and meeting new people.
Am proud of myself with this cooking
Had a great first class today, thank you
I just really enjoyed it and 100% would love to cook with
you again
Motivated to be bothered to get kids interested in healthy
food - Loved it all thanks
Thank you so so much - great people
Enthusiasm and excitement of instructors & sense of fun
rubs off. I find cooking at home less boring now.
Truthfully everything.
After completing 2 very successful Cracking Good Food
4 week courses, the parents and myself are sad to say
Good bye. Tracey, Miranda and Kim have been one of
the best outside agencies I have had the pleasure of
working with!
CGF team have delivered what they said on the tin and
more! They have provided all equipment/ food/
everything. From a school point of view we provided the
room, tea and coffee and not forgetting our lovely
parents!
CGF team have given many parents not just cooking
experience. But skills for life, to impact on healthier
children and themselves! This has been one of the best
experiences I have been able to share with our parents.
The CGF team has changed not only the way I look at
food and food waste, but that of a school! A BIG thankyou
from all the parents and most of all ME! Hope to carry on
with this great work!

Feedback:
The clients were really engaged and seemed to enjoy their
time. They have said they will continue to bake bread at
home in the future and would love to do something similar
again. The management was amazing on the day, (as was
the pizza) and it was completely relaxed and enjoyable.
They were fantastic, the clients that attended had varying
levels of English, however they all seemed to understand
well. Kat Whitehead, Organiser

5-week breadmaking

This was based at St

Various DEP breadmaking
sessions Blogs
In collaboration with
the Development Education Project
(DEP) www.dep.org.uk we ran 2 x 5week bread making courses.
For 3 hours each week, a group of 10
worked with our artisan baker Rob,
cooking up a range of breads: soda
bread, wholewheat, rye, bagels, pizza,
focaccia, finishing off with hot cross
buns and Chelsea buns for their
celebratory party and certificate
presentation.
The skills they learnt and the
confidence they built up over the 5
weeks was remarkable.
They all want to continue to meet up
with their newly found friends, to
cook!
A recipe book was produced to

Some results:
2/3 of the 6 participants on the first course said they
wanted to eat more healthily
At the end of the course, half of them said that their diet
was slightly healthier and a sixth said it was much
healthier. Bearing in mind they dont have daily access to
cooking facilities, this is very positive.
2/3 of them said that their cooking skills and knowledge
had improved a lot
2/3 said that they felt a lot more confident about cooking
3 months later, when most of the participants had left the
hostel 3/4 of them were still eating more healthily than
before they attended the course
3/4 of them still felt more confident using the skills they
had learnt
3/4 of them have cooked from scratch for other people
Statistics below are based on the data collected from the
beginning and end of course questionnaires.

The cost of ingredients was kept as
affordable as possible so that it is

continue to practise what they have
learnt and calculated each session

As something to raise awareness of National Vegetarian
Week I think its good value. It may not necessarily make
people more likely to be veggie, but it could help them see
how easy it is to cook a meat-free meal.

Too busy at the end of the session, run out of time for
feedback.
We thought the cooking leaders were great and fantastic
at managing the class of children. Thought recipe
selection and the way it is organised in terms of getting
the children to all chop up the vegetables and herbs was
really good. It meant that every child got equal
opportunities and enjoyment from the session Beth
