Bus brings cookery lessons to the University
Posted on 15 February 2010
The Cooking Bus, an articulated lorry that transforms into a cookery classroom, will be on campus this week with its staff teaching students new recipes and offering advice on food budgeting.Students who take part will be encouraged to cook with their friends as a way of passing on what they have learned.
We have had a very enthusiastic response
Jill Ellis
Jill Ellis, Manager of the Student Support Office, said: “We have had a very enthusiastic response from students to the visit of the Cooking Bus.
“Being able to cook a healthy meal from scratch is an important life skill that also helps make the most of a limited food budget.”
The Cooking Bus is operated by Focus on Food, a campaign to promote better eating habits through the teaching of cookery skills.
The visit of the Cooking Bus was made possible with support from the York Annual Fund.
