A POPULAR TV chef and restaurateur is aiming to stir up some interest in adult learning.

Ready Steady Cook celebrity chef Brian Turner will visit Newcastle College to demonstrate his cookery skills.

He will deliver a two-hour cookery session, leading 15 trainee chefs through a menu to produce an English-style three-course meal on a budget.

The visit has been arranged by Learning and Skills Council Tyne and Wear as part of the national Bite Size campaign, which aims to get more adults back into learning.
