Here’s what a few of our parents have said about the course:
“I couldn’t recommend this course highly enough for the Duke of Edinburgh… ’learning a new skill ‘ element. My son thoroughly enjoyed the variety of recipes covered & indeed the flexibility to alter/personalise them. As a mum, simply overseeing his efforts, I learnt a few new tips too! Smart Raspberry were fabulous in their approach & super responsive with any queries or questions asked. On completion we received the report & certificate required in less than 24 hours! “Don’t hesitate & book this for your child now!” Hansen’s Mum
“My son has just finished his Bronze DofE cooking skills using the Cook At Home scheme from Smart Raspberry. As a complete novice the recipes were all of an appropriate ability for him, well laid out, nutritious and encouraged the learning of various different skills such as measuring, chopping, kneading and whisking. I definitely noticed a building of his confidence over the course and this introduction to cooking will hopefully provide him with some life skills to build on in the future. Some of the recipes we’ve now made several times.” Anita
