Cook Stars - an award winning pre and after school plus teen cookery franchise operating in 55+ UK locations – has launched in Mid Wales this autumn, helping busy families build children’s confidence and essential kitchen skills.

“Parents know how important cooking is, but it can be hard to fit in around busy schedules,” said Val Frenett, who is bringing Cook Stars to Ceredigion and Powys. “Our classes are hands‑on, fun, and truly make cooking child’s play.”
