TENANTS with a Shropshire housing organisation are being given the chance to cook up a treat at a series of free workshops with a community kitchen.

Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing and OsNosh have joined forces to offer special cookery courses which will help tenants cook up tasty and cost-effective meals so that they can eat well for less.

The courses will consist of three one-hour classes with all ingredients and equipment provided, as well as recipe cards and a meal. Every household taking part will receive a free slow cooker to help them produce their own healthy and tasty meals from low-cost ingredients in a way that is energy efficient.

They launched on February 8 with the first course fully booked, but places are still available at the other workshops.

It is planned to extend the scheme across the county.
