Join our friendly Beginners cooking session exploring food and mood. No experience needed – cook, learn and enjoy good company.

Food and Mood: Beginners Cooking Session

Come along to our relaxed and friendly Food and Mood Beginners Cooking Session at CFINE Cook at the Nook in Aberdeen, where we will be making a Mauritian kidney bean and potato stew (rougaille) with rice. This is a simple, tasty dish made with store-cupboard ingredients.

This is a hands-on cooking session where you’ll have the chance to learn some simple cooking skills, try out recipes and explore how food can play a part in our mood and wellbeing.

No previous cooking experience is needed. You’ll cook alongside a small group, with support from an experienced facilitator. There’ll also be plenty of time to chat, ask questions and enjoy cooking together.
