How To Be A Chef Recipe Of The Week – Chelsea Buns
Our latest How To Be A Chef course is currently running every week at The Square Food Foundation kitchen in Knowle West as part of our Better Bristol initiative.
The course gives 16-25 year-olds the opportunity to learn how to cook with experienced chefs, gain a qualification and provides them with support to find work in the catering industry.
Throughout the 12 week course we’re bringing you the best recipes from the kitchen, and this week it’s mouth watering Chelsea Buns.
The recipe was chosen by young chef Charlotte, who is a carer for her brother. Charlotte has already been offered paid work with Fosters Event Catering after completing work experience with them as part of the course.
