Learning online with Leiths couldn’t be more straightforward. All you need to do is log into the Workshop learning app on your phone or tablet, follow our expert tutors’ step by step instructions, and get cooking.
You’ll work alongside up to nine other teens, who will soon become a helpful support group through the app, and you’ll be guided by a friendly Leiths mentor, who will be on hand to help you cook an impressive range of tasty recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Take and upload pictures of your finished dish so that your tutor can comment and offer tips for next time, and your cohort can be inspired by your progress.
When you sign up to the Teen Cookery Toolbox, you’ll unlock a new unit every week, for six weeks, which you follow at your own pace. This includes an introductory unit covering knife skills and kitchen safety.
Don’t worry if you have too much homework, or need to skip a week during the holidays. The Teen Cookery Toolbox is totally flexible, so you can take a session at the weekend or whenever you like. Your access to the course lasts for 12 months, so don’t feel pressurised if homework has to take priority for a while.
It’s a great way to learn skills you’ll use for life, getting ready to leave home. Cooking is a great way to bond with new people; it’s comforting to know that when that day comes, you'll be able to feed yourself and your friends really well. You’ll be amazed how much you learn on this tailor made course.
