A local charity is running community cooking demonstrations where participants can take home a free air fryer.

The Hubb Foundation is running free Hubb Pots Cook and Eat community cooking demonstrations at venues across the city.

They are inviting local families "on a tight budget" to attend the sessions to learn new skills and take away a free air fryer and recipe book.

The Hubb Foundation Community Relationship Manager Kevin Hawkins said: "Since launching the Hubb Pots scheme in 2021 we have helped more than 2,000 families across Stoke-on-Trent learn new cooking and budgeting skills.

"Air fryers are a really economical way to cook and this is a fun hands-on session designed to help people who may struggle to make ends meet.

"It not only teaches families new skills but also ensures they can go home with the kit to carry on their healthy, budget-friendly cooking journey."

The sessions will be led by local chef Harji Kaur of Indian Fusion, who will coach families through cooking healthy air fryer meals such as kebabs, vegetarian curry, pizzas and even stir fry.

The participants will then be able to eat the meal at the venue or package it up to take home.
