About the tutor

Yvette Henderson

Although I have no formal training in food. Growing up, my family life was all traditional cooking and passing skills form one generation to the next. I am a keen baker and regularly bake on a Monday night for the folks I work with in advertising. I too feel strongly about the need to preserve food and reduce food waste. I have joined Lisa since 2018 running CWA workshops to pass on these skills.
