Cookery courses for older men proving popular

These men are learning to cook in New Costessey near Norwich

There has been a huge demand for a special cookery programme for men over the age of 55. The classes have been introduced in Norfolk and have now spread to a number of towns and cities.

They are run by Age UK Norfolk and the Joy of Food programme, which is funded by the county council. The classes are free with an emphasis on cooking and preparing healthy meals.

ITV New Anglia's Lauren Hall has been to meet some of the men taking part in the new courses.

Sessions are run each week in Norwich, Diss and Watton. To find out more or to sign up, please contact Maddie Handsley on 01603 785252 or email maddie.handsley@ageuknorfolk.org.uk
