Join founder of Yumma Food, Yvonne Cobb, dubbed 'Deaf Nigella' as she leads you through a cookery class to make Vegan burger with peri peri potato wedges and homemade tasty salsa. Yvonne is a Deaf cook with a big personality, and regularly posts vlogs. She is also a BBC Anchor Presenter for @BBCSeeHear.

Delivered in BSL, with live captioning and voiceover translated into English, this workshop is for everyone who needs lockdown cookery tips. Yumma is a small business which aims to empower D/deaf people including D/deaf children, often marginalised and unaware of the benefits of good nutrition, by offering them employment or developing cooking skills.

Yumma aims to educate and build people’s confidence, as well as promoting well being and reducing social isolation, as mental health in D/deaf people is proven to be one in two which is double than hearing community. This is done through all-inclusive workshops, training events, cooking lessons, and catering services for public use. Yumma's approach to cooking food is tasty, wholesome, colourful, simple and full of flavours!
