Age UK in Lewisham and Southwark recently received a veggie cookery class delivered by Vegetarian for Life chef Ollie Bragg.

Service users at the Healthy Living and Learning Centre learned warming winter recipes in a hands-on session.

Ollie has previously delivered a successful session at the centre, and returned to share some ideas for comforting seasonal food.

“We had a small informal group, which allowed everyone to get involved in making the food,” Ollie says. “Everyone had a lot of fun.”

Attendees made root vegetable tagine and flatbreads, with a dessert of apple crumble with vegan coconut yoghurt.

“The session was very well received, with lots of happy faces and plenty of compliments,” Ollie says. “We ate a bit afterwards, but mostly participants took the food away to enjoy at home.”
