you can choose in advance which PP options you would like to cook. When you have requested a PP option on this form these ingredients will then be automatically provided

for your practical lessons – if the form is not returned you will not be provided with ingredients. If you would prefer to bring your own ingredients you are very welcome to do

so, but we ask that you let us know in order to minimise waste.
