Free one-day cookery course if you're 16-25

Just wondered if people knew about/were interested in this - there's a note about it in the current issue of The Vegan mag.

http://www.vegetariancharity.org.uk/veganventure.html

I met Maxwell Lee, who the course commemorates, once; he was a long-standing vegetarian who went vegan in later life if I remember correctly - ETA I see I do remember correctly as it's mentioned at the bottom of that page :o

Ooh, sounds exciting! I wish I could go, but I'm definitely going to be out of the country in August :(

[harpy]

Oh well - I think it's an annual event so perhaps you can apply another year

It sounds so good - might see if I can mention this in the College I work in. We have one student in our area who has just gone veggie but would be too far for her to go on her own.

Yet again punished for being so old ;)

[twinkle toes]

yes i feel old now too :( maybe i can sneak in like in that episode of only fools and horses where rodney has to pretend to be a kid when they go on holiday

[harpy]

Yes I don't know why they have an age bar. I can see they need to narrow the field but means-testing would make more sense. That would probably put people off though.

Or better still, capability testing. There are plenty of 16-25 year olds who can cook. I'm 33 and I can't! I *need* this sort of course! Blatant ageism! :D

[harpy]

Yes that sounds like a fun sort of test, and one I could pass with flying colours - prove you can't cook :D (Mind you I've come across people who really can't cook, like the ones who don't know you have to peel an onion, so their need is probably greater.)

If anyones ever in the Malvern direction then my friend Liz runs fantastic Saturday vegan cookery courses - not free but very good:)

I got her flyer at the second-to-last Hillside fair (that was her, right?) and am very tempted. I might know that I need to peel an onion ;) but otherwise it's all fairly dodgy :undecided:

[alisont]

Yes you would of met Liz at Hillfields, she now has her professional kitchen all set up at her new house in Malvern - courses are excellent, all details on the website which Ive not got to hand but is called our lizzy (if you want to google it:))

Thanks ali :)
