Cookery Clubs
Are you interested in learning some new recipes, making new friends and becoming healthier? If so, then our cookery clubs are for you!
GCDA runs several FREE 5-week, in-person Cookery Clubs each year throughout the borough in community venues that are open to all.  ​The focus is on making delicious food that will inspire you to try new things at home, cook more from scratch and enjoy cooking. ​The easy, affordable recipes introduce small changes that can have a big impact on your health.
​
Maybe it’s measuring your salt and oil, or finding easy ways to try to increase your fruit and vegetable intake, finding tips and ideas to help reduce waste and save money, or meeting new people in the community, there’s something for everyone.
All the ingredients and equipment are included, and participants who attend at least 4 of the 5 weeks will receive a fabulous recipe book to help them continue their journey at home.
