Welcome to an adventurous year where you get to know how to make tasty food from simple ingredients. We will use the kitchen at school and nearby areas outside when we cook.

In the course, you will get to know different food cultures and how you can be robust in your own life when it comes to cooking . Together with other foodies, you will learn to cook everything from simple dishes to exotic feasts . 

We will create and have wonderful food experiences together in different places and in different contexts: In the kitchen, on the primus and a fire outside, in the mountains, by the sea, on an island, in a boat, in the sun, in the snow, at sunrise and at sunset, and otherwise where we feel like dreaming away in the delicious world of food. We buy good ingredients and make proper food with good quality , which is healthy and, not least, tastes delicious . In early autumn and spring, we collect and grow herbs and vegetables in the school's own kitchen garden , and get to experience using our own ingredients in cooking. One of the goals is that you should be able to use the knowledge in your daily life.
