Purple Carrot Chef School – Cook for a Crowd Without Breaking the Bank - 6 October

Cooking for one is tricky enough. Cooking for twenty, fifty or a hundred can feel like herding cats in a kitchen. Purple Carrot Chef School is stepping in with a five-day practical cooking course designed for anyone who finds themselves feeding more mouths than their pots were originally built for.

The course kicks off on 6 October 2025 in Potchefstroom, and promises practical know-how without any of the fancy fluff.

Who Should Pull Up a Chair

The programme is pitched squarely at those running soup kitchens, NGOs, feeding schemes, youth programmes, and community kitchens. But it’s also a good fit for home cooks and caregivers who’d like to make hearty meals that go further without the flavour fading away.

What’s on the Menu

Over the five days, participants will learn how to:

• Stretch ingredients without compromising taste

• Make affordable meals that still fill the belly

• Plate food with pride (because presentation counts, even when you’re serving pap in bulk)

• Cook in bulk the smart way rather than just scaling up recipes and hoping for the best

  
  

Why It Matters

Purple Carrot has summed up the course motto neatly: “Feeding Families. Supporting Communities.” It’s not about fancy cooking. It’s about practical skills that help food stretch further while still being worth sitting down for.
