What is You Can Cook?

The project is the brainwave of its founder Bosco Santimano and is a Community Interest Company currently based in Peebles, Scottish Borders.

The aim of the project is to educate and create awareness within the community regarding the basics of cooking with a major emphasis on healthy eating.

The project will run cookery classes, demonstrations and workshops in food related issues.

You Can Cook is committed to Self-Help and empowering the community to take that step forward in changing their lifestyle for the better.

We will also provide valuable information about nutrition, benefits of organic and non-organic foods, buying local produce, fair trade issues with the ultimate objective being to provide a service that will help anyone and everyone in the community to make an informed choice.

We will also provide budgeting skills and knowledge about additives, flavourings, pesticides, fertilisers, E numbers,etc.....

Individuals from the community will be bringing their own expertise and knowledge to the classes alongwith local chefs.

You Can Cook is a positive affirmation for all, its a skill we all have to varying degrees.

We are what we eat, that means, if we nourish our bodies in an appropriate way, we are able to achieve better health.

It is important to relax when eating your food and to give total attention to enjoying your food.

Above all take satisfaction in the cooking and joy in the eating.

Our service will help absolute beginners to individuals who can cook but feel they need that extra motivation to experiment and try different foods and cuisine's.
