Students very often come to university, leaving home and good home cooking to find they are left to fend for themselves and try to cook and eat a balanced diet – or worse still they find themselves in catered halls! Any student is welcome to come along to a Gastronomous event.

But what is Gastronomous I hear you ask? Basically it’s a student cookery course! It’s a monthly event where we gather some students and teach them to cook a relatively quick, simple, nutritious yet very impressive meal. We get together after church on the fourth Sunday each month and share the cooking responsibilities with one of our resident chefs guiding us along the way. We then get to sit down to a good home cooked meal for Sunday lunch. Recipe cards are produced for people to take away with them, in order to help them reproduce the meals for house mates or even parents.

Due to the nature of this kind of thing we can only take around 10-12 people per session, therefore advance booking is helpful to ensure your place, but also so we know how many to cater for. We aim to cater for around £2 a head – if you would like to book in, or want more details on the next Gastronomous event call Dan on 07773 768 349.
