In this day and age, cooking skills are not places as a standard skill to learn in school. However, in London, Karen Watson aims to change this dramatically by teaching students how to cook and bake. The value of learning how to cook means that students are more aware of what they are eating, the processes each ingredient undergoes and how healthy their meals really are. It also encourages students to be mindful of eating out as oppose to cooking home made meals daily.
One of the best pizza recipes are also used in Karen's classes. Barleylands Farm conducts weekly sessions for the youth who are keen to get their hands dirty and learn the passion of food. The cooking classes will educate students where for example, flour comes from and how to harvest wheat to make fresh dough.
