New films to encourage healthy cooking and eating at home

With support from Wandsworth Council, we've made a series of films to encourage adults with learning disabilities and autism to get cooking.
This is part of a project to encourage healthier eating and healthier living in general. We made the films last year at a local co-living space, Folk at Sunday Mills in Earlsfield, who kindly lent us their kitchen.
We hope that our students (and anyone else!) will be inspired to cook healthy meals at home. And watch this space: we're going to publish an easy read cookbook with many more recipes very soon.
We've made one longer film where the group make a delicious and healthy lentil bolognese with a side salad. And we've also made five short film clips to support kitchen skills in general:
- Kitchen hygiene - wearing aprons
- Kitchen hygiene - cleaning surfaces
- Knife safety tips
- Food safety and cross contamination
- Storing cooked food safely
Huge thanks to our stars of the films - students Doris, Carla and Ella and our chef tutor Tim - who have done a fantastic job!
All the films are available to watch below. Please share them with anyone you know who might find them useful, just click the 'share' button or the three dots at the top right of each film:
