Cooking Made Easy
(Monday to Friday)
Always wanted to learn how to cook?
This cooking programme has been designed to prove that although we live in a world of fast food and microwave meals, preparing a fresh, healthy nutritious meal doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. The programme will cover the right foods we should be using as part of a healthy diet, occasionally with the odd treat. It also shows how to prepare quick and easy meals and how to shop on a budget.
Or already enjoy cooking and preparing food?
