He said: “The course was really useful and gave me some great tips to take into our sessions at Impact Living.
“Our participants in the cookery sessions experience social anxiety, so it’s brilliant to be able to offer an activity that not only brings people together over mutual interests, but also teaches them new skills they can take home.”
Jamie Oliver said: “This is exactly what this programme is all about; learning new skills in the kitchen that can be passed on, all while helping to fight food waste.
