Healthy Cooking – Young Carers Group

On Tuesday evening, 1^st October, BHC Machars were invited to offer a Healthy Cooking Activity to the young carers groups in Newton Stewart.

Both groups watched a demo on how to prepare and cook a quick Chicken Fried Rice dish at a fraction of the cost compared to take-away food. They were also advised on how not to waste food, but to use what was available in the house rather than to buy additional food. 

They then cooked themselves, and all showed great skills.

They described their efforts as “Brilliant and tasty!”
