FOURTEEN volunteers have been back to school to learn how to cook healthy dishes.
County Durham Primary Care Trust (PCT) organised the Cooking for the Family event at Wellfield School, in Wingate.
The would-be chefs were shown practical cooking skills and given information on healthy eating during the five-week course.
On completion of the course, participants were presented with a pack of kitchen equipment and a selection of recipe books.
Gillian O'Neil the PCT's programme co-ordinator for food and health, said: "Many people are too busy in their day-to-day lives to be able to have any time to cook for themselves or their family, so they tend to end up having convenience foods.''
