Course Outline....The BTEC Jamie Oliver Home Cooking Skills Level 2 course has been developed in partnership with Jamie Oliver Ltd and has been inspired by his food initiatives and campaigns. Learners will develop their cooking skills by exploring recipes for nutritious meals. Each recipe is underpinned with knowledge about planning and sourcing food, hygiene and food safety. How to cook different elements of a meal to serve them at the same time are considered. The importance of presenting food well and how this contributes to its enjoyment is reflected on in this level 2 course. Ways to economise when shopping for ingredients and cooking meals at home are significant aspects of this level 2 course. Learners will demonstrate their skills by selecting recipes for a nutritious two-course meal and following the recipes to prepare, cook and present the meal. This course aims to give learners the skills and confidence to enjoy cooking meals at home, to apply skills to new recipes to continue cooking for themselves and their families and to inspire others.
