Sunday Cooking Club

Do you like food? Do you want to learn to cook? Come to the Sunday Cooking Club at Green Street Community Centre!

We meet every Sunday from 10 am to 12 pm. In each class, we cook one easy dish. This month, we make vegetable soup, fried rice, flatbread and fruit salad.

The club is for adults and teenagers over 14. You do not need any experience. Our teacher, Ravi, is a friendly cook. He has a small restaurant in the town, and he loves teaching.

One class costs 8 euros. The price includes all the food. Please bring an apron and a box. You can take your food home and share it with your family!

There are only 12 places in each class. To join, write your name on the list at the front desk of the community centre before Friday.

Come and cook with us!
