Duke of Edinburgh Award Courses
I’m Susan and mother of Aston (26) and Campbell (24); many years ago I helped them complete the skills section for their Duke of Ed awards by sharing my cooking tips etc with them. Consequently, I developed a large range of Duke of Ed cookery courses and have helped 100’s of students complete their skills. The courses are easy-to-follow, interesting and engaging – you complete them in your kitchen and at a time which suits you. You provide the ingredients and equipment – we provide the fun! We support you with interesting recipes, evidence sheets, helpful tips & constructive and encouraging feedback. It’s easy to access and an enjoyable way to learn a valuable life skill.
We love cooking and teaching you to love cooking.

D of E; “This has been a great experience for my daughter who undertook a 12 week vegetarian cookery course for her Duke of Edinburgh award. A great variety of recipes to choose from, excellent communication with the team and an opportunity to learn lots of new skills. Would highly recommend!”
