Our recent gathering was a resounding success! The Community Centre was buzzing with laughter, friendly chatter, and the irresistible aromas of culinary creativity as we welcomed back past participants from our beloved cooking classes.

It was a joy to see friends, both old and new, reconnect over delicious food and engaging conversation. Guided by the ever-enthusiastic Coral of Coral's Cookery School, attendees shared inspiring stories of their post-course culinary adventures, swapping valuable tips and treasured recipes, and fondly reminiscing about their favorite moments from the classes.

More than just cooking, it’s about community. This gathering was a testament to the powerful connections forged in our sessions and the lasting impact of shared experiences. We’re committed to fostering this vibrant community and are excited to host more events like this in the future, encouraging everyone to continue exploring their culinary talents and building meaningful relationships.

This course is more than just learning to cook - it’s about nurturing your well-being. Learn delicious and healthy recipes that nourish your body and soul. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, connect with like-minded individuals, and experience the therapeutic benefits of slow cooking.  Watch this promotional video produced by the ICB about our Slow Cooking for the Heart and Soul courses.
