Log InHi, I'm Chloe
I am your tutor for your course. I am here to help you make the most of the skills section of your DofE award. I am here to help you plan your course, answer questions, give feedback, suggest recipes and generally support. I will also act as your accessor and submit your report for you provided you have sent me evidence on your cooking. I love to talk about food and teach people to cook so please never hesitate to get in touch with your questions or drop into one of our weekly live drop ins to say hi.
What You Need To Do Now
1. Choose What To Cook
Our level 1 and 2 Skills Courses offer a great mix of savoury and baking skills or, if you would prefer to stick to just savoury/baking, you can follow our savoury and baking courses. We are here to help you build the ideal course for you so please do ask for help or advice - you can email Chloe at [email protected] or you can drop into our online weekly checkins. Each course is split into weekly skills. Have a look at the skills tutorials, then put that skill into practice with one of the recipes. You can find a full list of available recipes via the link at the bottom of this page or in the "Information for DofE Students" section fo your course. New recipes are going live on the system all of the time but if you would like to cook a recipe you have seen on the list but you can't find on the system please let us know and we will get it up asap.
2. Log Your Progress
This is really important. As an Approved Activity Provider we are able to submit an assessor's report on your behalf. However, we can only submit an assessor's report if you have provided us with evidence that you have cooked the recipes and completed the course. Logging your recipes is really easy. You can download a recipe log form from the link at the bottom of this page or from the "Information for DofE Students" section of your course. Every time you cook take a quick photo of what you have made and email it to [email protected]. Then fill in the form, get someone to taste it and sign it. Once you have completed the course, send us the form and we will submit our report. We ask that you check in with us either via email or our weekly live drop ins to check you are happy and on track.

Recipe Lists & Forms To Print
Remember To Print This Recipe Log And Fill In The Form
We cannot submit your assessor's report unless we have evidence of the recipes that you have cooked so make sure you remember to log your progress by sending us a photo and filling in this form each time you cook
Keep In Touch
We ask that our students check in with us every few weeks so that we can keep track of your progress, answer any questions and give feedback. You can do this by email to [email protected] or you can drop into our weekly live drop ins for a quick chat. Drop ins totally optional (there is no obligation to attend) and are Wednesdays and Sundays at 7pm. You will receive an email reminder when we are going live. We are always happy to chat any time if you need help, advice or recipe suggestions so just get in touch. We really hope that you enjoy your course.
