After much anticipation, Eat Club courses have resumed in Somers Town Community Association. This year a new group has joined the youth club and comes into the kitchen to cook and eat every Wednesday afternoon. We kicked off with a taster session. What could be better to attract the young people than making fruit smoothies? Well, as it turns out quite a few of them don’t like fruit (not to mention vegetables….).
The challanges for the rest of the course are now obvious. Some of the more ‘healthy’ components will have to be introduced slowly and gently. Pizza making for example was great fun even though very few of the pizzas saw any vegetable toppings and as a ‘one off’ fizzy drinks were allowed. It will be interesting to watch the group develop over the next two months. We are already having fun but we are aspring to achieve much more! TBC…
