Home Cooking (BTEC)

At Bridge House, we support our children in the development of essential cooking skills and knowledge. We work to provide our students with the knowledge, skills and confidence to prepare and cook a wide range of meals to enjoy at home.

Our children will develop their practical skills and understanding of food hygiene to help prepare them for adulthood, allowing children to prepare their own meals and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Practical skills developed will include baking, forming, icing, roasting, frying and chopping.

As part of lessons, we encourage our students to be creative and experimental with food – developing several new recipes, whilst exploring traditional recipes utilising a number of different food groups. Through our sessions we develop the children’s independent skills so they will be able to purchase, prepare and consume a healthy diet.
