"My son has just completed the 'Starting off' course for his Silver DofE skills. I was so impressed with how straight forward the recipes were, and so tasty. I really enjoyed watching my son make them, and even more so to sample them! His favourite was the cornish pasties, I loved the soup and have already made it myself since! Thank you Be :-)" - Rachel
"Be’s Simple Suppers course is so tasty and the recipes are so easy to follow! This is the second course we have done. Highly recommended!" - Michelle

"My daughter undertook the cookery course as part of her Duke of Edinburgh award. The recipes were very nice and well suited in providing useful and practical meals for young people to cook for themselves. I would highly recommend the course" - Rhys
"I want to thank Be for her excellent DofE course. My second daughter has passed her Bronze DofE with Be. The recipes are easy to follow, fun and delicious. Be has given us great feedback and my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the course, especially trying new foods and preparing meals for her family. 100% recommend!" - Lorna
"Great course with a variety of easy to follow and adapt dishes that all teenagers/ young adults will benefit from. My daughter has done the Back to Uni course as part of her DofE Bronze Award. She really enjoyed cooking the dishes and has cooked many of them several times since. Some will become family favourites I am sure. Thank you very much, Be, for this amazing course" - Anna
