Baking with Friends – bake-off challenge

Do you think you could use baking to help some of your friends gain confidence with both their maths and computer skills? If so then our new Baking with Friends challenge is perfect for you!

Bake with friends - Julian Pam and Carl March 2013Starting during Spring Online (22 – 26 April) and running right through to Adult Learners’ Week (18 – 24 May), ukonline centres like ours are being challenged to take part in running special sessions during which learners will follow fun and easy recipes and cook up a storm right in their centre!

By encouraging people to measure ingredients, add up calories and divide up portions, they’ll be developing their math skills  – along with demonstrations to show them how computers can help them convert ounces to grams or find all kinds of other recipes online.

We’ll be getting our hands on some fantastic Baking with Friends packs which will provide a variety of recipes for  the sessions, and these will include a selection of super-easy recipe cards, hints and tips on how to make the sessions a success.And don’t worry if you don’t think you’ve got the facilities to make these at home afterwards – whether you’ve got a top of the range kitchen, a microwave or simply a clean table – there’ll be a pack and a recipe perfect for you!

Check out the video trailer on the home page. Baking with Friends sessions will be a lovely way for people, young or old, to share their knowledge and gain new skills together!
