This is the initiative of Barbara Cochrane, the Senior Paediatric Dietitian at the Hospital. She has been doing this for over 18 months now. It is designed to teach individuals new cooking skills and allow them to network together in an informal way, sharing the experience of bringing up a child (or children) with PKU or other related metabolic diseases.
