What a fantastic cookalong alhamdulilah! Children and grown ups cooked delicious one pot biryani together, learned new skills or shared their skills and had a really special experience
The Cookalong project has been one of our most anticipated projects, bringing families together to cook, build skills, connect and eat something homemade . Seeing children and adults learning side by side is exactly why this project matters.
Feedback we received :

βWe had a lovely time and getting to take home delicious biryani was an added bonus.β
βI avoid biryani, but now I know how to make it in a way that wonβt take forever.β

βI havent cooked with my children before.β
βI never peeled an onion before!β (CYP)
βThe ginger almost went in my eyes!β (CYP)
