Fancy learning how to cook, but don’t know how to go about it? Then let Get Cooking Get Shopping show you how.

Get Cooking, Get Shopping is a course aimed at teaching local South West Glasgow people how to cook. 

Taking place on one afternoon or one evening a week over six weeks, the course covers a range of subjects including basic nutrition and food safety. A free crèche is also available if it will help you take part. 

John Casey, Health Improvement Officer with South West CHCP. said: “The course is delivered by a qualified chef and is designed for small groups of no more than six participants.  
“The sessions are informal, friendly, fun and practical.  Anyone who lives within the South West CHCP area can take part and the course is completely free.  All ingredients and instructions are provided and all we need from participants is to attend the six sessions.”

The first two Get Cooking Get Shopping courses were held in Priesthill Community Hall and John also organised a further two courses at the Pearce Institute in Govan and Kennishead Community Hall.
