Parents, like Zana, learn to cook low -cost and healthy meals
Residents in southern London have learned to use a slow cooker to prepare healthy meals with a budget for their families.
The Sutton Council provided free lessons to the “slow ipier club” in order to combat food poverty in the region.
The local authority said it also used the club to provide useful advice to low -income and vulnerable residents.
Family centers and children’s centers run Claire Borg, who had the idea, said: “I didn’t know the course would be so popular.”

The four -week course is offered by the family’s family poles that help families with practical, social, emotional and financial problems
“The slow cooker club began as an idea of how we could further support local families in Sutton with the cost of living, isolation and healthy food,” she said.
Ms. Borg added that parents’ comments were specifically “overwhelming”.

The course tutor Eugenie Bing Tsang taught residents how to cook healthy foods with a budget
Charlie, one of the students in the course, said: “The course is very informative and the tutors were very useful and encouraging.
“I now feel confident in some basic dishes to cook for my daughter.”
The local authority provided the slowdowns in four weeks.
During the lessons, people learned to cook low -cost and healthy meals and they then received the ingredients to train at home.
Those who participated also received a free simmer.
The funding of lessons came from the Sainsbury’s supermarket chain as a subsidy of the external community.

Hot currys and sausage vegetables were among the recipes taught in the “slow cooker club”
Ms. Borg said she was particularly proud that the course could help some mothers in the local community who felt isolated.
Now the team is looking for more funding so that they can take the course.
