Improve your money management and cooking skills for free this January.

Rutland Adult Learning & Skills Service (RALSS) is hosing a 'Cooking on a Budget' course, which begins later this month and will see Rutland residents learn about creating nutritious meals to a recipe on a budget.

A spokesperson for the skills service, supported by Rutland County Council, said: "The short course will teach you about prices and value for money of ingredients, using basic maths to weigh and measure, and how to follow a recipe to cook a budget-friendly nutritious meal."

The course is free for anyone aged 19+ who doesn't have GCSE Maths at C/4 or above, and will take place at Unit 16a, Oakham Enterprise Park, Ashwell Road, Oakham LE15 7TU.

The course will take place on 25 January from 9:30am until 12pm.
