Hotpoint and Jamie Oliver Foundation offer free cooking lessons

A custom-built mobile teaching kitchen will hit the road this summer to arm the nation with essential cooking skills, after research reveals almost 1 in 5 UK adults rely on a diet of takeaways and convenience food due to lack of knowledge in the kitchen; with 1 in 10 Brits admitting they never cook from scratch.

Hotpoint and Jamie Oliver want to show people that cooking from scratch is fun, quick and good for all the family. The Hotpoint Teaching Kitchen will equip communities with essential skills and share Jamie’s clever recipes for quick, healthy, tasty meals.

The Hotpoint Teaching Kitchen will offer free cooking lessons to thousands of families across the UK. The first stop is Crystal Palace; the kitchen is open to the public from 3rd - 10th June. Teachers from the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation will run daily classes from the truck, using Hotpoint cooking appliances.
