Cooking

At R Community, we offer snack cooking Tuesdays and soupeR Wednesdays. The snack cooking group alternates each week between sweet and savoury recipes and learn various techniques from pizza dough making to cheesecake baking. All clients have their individual cooking station and prep their own snacks, which encourages their individual development and gives them the freedom to add/takeaway the things they choose. On Wednesdays, our cooking group makes soups/pasta dishes, which the rest of the service and staff team can buy for lunch. Clients are able to pick the recipes for the coming week and are encouraged to use seasonal veg or veg grown in our sensory garden, by the gardening group. This group focuses on knife skills, hand hygiene, chopping and peeling skills and helping directly in the kitchen. It is a group based on teamwork and they produce fantastic lunches for us all each week. They have even made their own recipe book, which can be purchased from R Community.
