How it works

All you need is a phone and a kitchen – we’ll get you started by delivering you a FREE bag of ingredients, instructions and some equipment to your door, to cook 3 delicious international recipes, enough food for 7 generous meals.

You can cook when it suits you and your family, and we’ll be here to help with personal support by phone or WhatsApp, with great advice and videos.  You’ll learn about the cheapest local shops and budgeting tips too.

It only takes about 2 weeks to complete the course, so it’s a great starting point for people wanting to make a change to what they eat and save money.  Whether you’re a beginner or a good cook, we can help you with fab recipes, great food and pro tips, and you’ll have fun too!

At the end, you’ll be invited to join a friendly and supportive online community so you can eat healthily and save money for good.

Zara, who cares for her autistic son and lives with asthma and arthritis, said “this course is outstanding, I am so grateful for being able to take part in it.  I have lost some weight and it makes me so happy!
