Barnsley Council’s Adult and Family Learning Service are offering the new cook and eat courses, which are free and include all ingredients, from the second week of January.

The move follows the success of Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food shop in Rotherham, which has seen more than 7,500 people take part in cookery classes since it was launched three years ago.
