🌡️ We've been putting our Thermapen Thermometer to good use on our Adult Learning Courses! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

One of the biggest cooking tips we share is learning to cook by temperature rather than time. Not only does this help take the guesswork out of cooking, but it also means you'll know exactly when your food is safely cooked and perfectly done every time. 🍗✨

Whether you're roasting meat, baking bread, or trying out new recipes, a reliable thermometer can make all the difference in the kitchen.

We stock a range of Thermapen products in our shop, so you can bring the same professional tool we use on our courses into your own home. 🏡🍴

🍽️❤️ Food has always brought people together.

Whether it's sharing a meal with family, catching up with friends over lunch, or swapping recipes with neighbours, food creates connections and conversations that help us feel part of a community.

That's the idea behind our Food for Sharing course.

Over two friendly and relaxed sessions, you'll work alongside others to create a variety of delicious dishes, learn new skills, share ideas, and enjoy the social side of cooking. Best of all, you'll have plenty of tasty food to take home and enjoy. 🥘✨

🌟 This course is FREE (fully funded) if you:
✅ Are aged 19 or over
✅ Ordinarily live in the UK
✅ Have an annual income of less than £25,750

📅 Course Dates (you must attend both sessions)
🗓️ Monday 22nd June | 9:30am – 4:00pm

🍎👩‍🍳 What a fantastic week we've had delivering our adult learning courses across the county! Here's a look back at all the delicious dishes, new skills, and great conversations from the past few days. 😊

📍 Tuesday – Ymca Lincolnshire Communities (St Giles Community Centre)

We wrapped up our final session of Techniques From a Professional Kitchen, and what a way to finish! Our learners got busy in the kitchen creating a comforting classic apple and rhubarb crumble, followed by flavour-packed braised rice and a creamy chicken stroganoff. A wonderful end to a fantastic course! 👏🍏

📍 Thursday – YMCA St Rumbold Street

For our second Food for Sharing session, we took inspiration from Chinese dishes.🥢 The group prepared a delicious sweet and sour chicken and a vibrant vegetable chow mein, using fresh ingredients and making their sauces completely from scratch. It was amazing to see everyone's confidence growing! 🌶️🥕

📍 Friday - The Village Church Farm

We rounded off the working week with a full day of cooking and learning. Once again, the group mastered sweet and sour chicken and vegetable chow mein, before taking things back old-school with a pear, ginger and cinnamon bread and butter pudding 🍐🍞✨. A perfect combination of modern flavours and traditional favourites!

A huge well done to everyone who joined us last week. We love seeing learners develop new skills, try new recipes, and share great food together. We can't wait to see what next week brings! ❤️👨‍🍳

Our Scrapbook and Sip workshop is underway this afternoon at The Magna Carta Lincoln. 🍷🧵✂️

It's amazing to see everyone get together and share their memories through creating their very own scrapbook. ✨

Today we've been at Ymca Lincolnshire Communities for Food for Sharing as part of our Adult Learning provision. 🍴

The group made fresh pasta from scratch accompanied by a vegetable and tomato sauce, followed by apple crumble. 🍝🍏

These courses give everyone the opportunity to cook, learn and enjoy creating delicious food together within the community. 💚

Yesterday evening we were at Lincoln Eco Pantry for another Pasta Making Workshop! 🍴🍝

It was great to meet new faces. We hope that those who attended enjoyed an evening of shaping, rolling and creating fresh ravioli, tortellini and tagliatelle using The Eco Pantry's organic ingredients. 💚

We kicked off the bank holiday weekend with our pasta making workshop at Nettleham Community Hub! 🍝🍴

It was a fantastic evening filled with fun and laughter!

Adults had the chance to bring their own bottle, relax and enjoy making fresh pasta from scratch, turning it into ravioli and tortellini. 💚

We hope that everyone who attended enjoyed the evening. ☀️🍷

We've been at The Showroom at YMCA Lincolnshire for our penultimate session of Techniques From a Professional Kitchen. Today we've been making raspberry cheesecake before cooking up a minced-based dish. Participants could choose between making cottage pie and chilli. 🌶️

It was amazing to see everyone building up layers of flavour in their dishes, using some of the tips and tricks they've learnt so far on the course! ☺️🍰

We've been at Ymca Lincolnshire Communities again for another session of our Adult Learning funded courses. ☺️

Yesterday we were cooking vegetable-stuffed cannelloni with a tomato sauce followed by pineapple upside down cake! 🍍🍰
