Trainers will also be cooking healthy snacks for course attendees to enjoy at the end of each session while chatting about themselves and the skills they have learnt.
Sam Davis, from Blend, said: “Slow cookers are a really useful appliance for any kitchen and we are really looking forward to showing local residents how they can be used for most dishes, from curries to hearty soups.”
Sanctuary’s neighbourhood partnerships manager, Melanie King, added: “We hope that this course will offer local residents the chance to learn useful new cookery skills, as well as meeting neighbours with a similar interest.

The course will run for six weeks from Monday January 22, 1-3pm at Shiregreen Neighbourhood Centre.
Any Shiregreen resident interested in booking one of the limited places on the course can call the centre on 0114 245 9200 or email [email protected].
