Aim

Learning to cook in ways which promote prevention against the impacts of climate change while leading to positive individual well-being.

Here at ARS, we believe that learning good culinary practices will benefit individuals, not only in learning how to cook healthy and nutritious meals, but in cost management and understanding the impacts food waste has on the environment. Our trained chef not only teaches the best cooking methods but also provides information on how to buy foods that can be used in more than one meal and that can be meal prepped for future use.

Our classes are held in our fully equipped on site kitchen, supervised by our fully trained chef who offers step by step instructions on how to prepare and cook a variety of different meals, catering to different tastes and dietary requirements. 

Learning the best methods to make your shopping budget stretch further is something that, during a cost of living crisis, everyone will benefit from. Our chef shows the best and cheapest produce to buy to make healthy and satisfying meals that will feed your family and can contribute to other meals you can make through the week. Forward planning is key to successfully purchasing only what you need and ensuring that nothing is wasted and that people are getting value for their money and reducing their waste levels.

One third of all food ends up as waste and this significantly contributes towards climate change. The production of food alone requires a lot of resources and transporting it adds to GHG emissions so when it ends up in landfills the impact this has on climate change is quite profound. 

We believe that teaching people small changes in how they plan their meals, buy their produce, and cook their meals will have a greater impact on their budget and their knowledge of how they can contribute to tackling climate change.
