Bay Tree Caterers Liverpool & Bay Tree Cookery Academy CIC

Friday I spent teaching cookery with 17 talented young people at Woodlands Community Centre. Students made pizza dough, tomato ragu, Mediterranean vegetable pasta bake, flat bread which they topped with Nutella and lots of fresh fruit. Amazing kids, absolutely love my job 🙌🏽 Back there again in a couple of weeks running a family cookery class. Big thank you to the awesome Woodlands team ❤️🙌🏽

Wow what a fantastic evening yesterday filming a pod cast with Fortune Favours Productions and catching up with one of my favourite youth centres @unity_toxteth. Abraham from Yamm Tree with such amazing food knowledge think I must of asked a million and one questions. His date brownie was out of this world . We had our young chefs all with a passion for wellness inside and out. We discussed how they got started on their food wellness journey, how eating well affects your mental health and lots more. A magical evening with amazing people . I’ve probably said this a million times but I absolutely love my work #healthyfood #wellnessjourney #healthylifestyle #mentalhealth #eatinghealthy #podcast #peoplehelpingpeople
