And it’s all thanks to resident volunteer chef Gary and participants from The Base project in Coleraine.

Each week, the group of dedicated trainee-cooks have been guided through a variety of exciting and challenging recipes.

Everyone has got involved and been supported by Gary, along with other Focus on Family volunteers.

The participants have done everything from checking the recipe, getting the right ingredients, making the measurements, stirring, mixing and combining the food, cooking, final preparation and serving.

In addition, worksheets and exercises have helped the learning.

The Base participants have been a welcome addition to the wide range of people attending the busy Focus on Family centre, with their positive attitude and commitment to the cookery sessions.
