Cook and Share is our autumnal campaign that brings people together in a feast of cooking, connection and conversation for when the nights are drawing in.
Whether you’ve on a mission to make the most of produce you've grown from Plant and Share, looking for inspiration on what to do with leftover Halloween pumpkin, or simply wanting some delicious and nutritious autumnal recipes on a budget to cook with friends, family or community, the free to download resources and activity packs are for everyone to enjoy.
Cook and Share will return throughout November 2024, with the toolkit and registration available from October.
Week One: Cooking for People
Halloween and Bonfire Night are the perfect times to bring your loved ones, classmates or community together through hearty and comforting food. We have a whole range of tried-and-tested recipes ready to use, including a sumptuous sausage hotpot or super simple garlic pinwheels.
Week Two: Cooking for Pleasure
Whether it’s sharing cooking skills or food memories or enjoying a warm fruit crumble on a chilly night, preparing, and eating food can bring joy in so many ways. This week is all about connecting with others and sharing experiences and culture through cooking.
Week Three: Cooking for the Planet
This week we focus how food can have a positive impact on the planet, by looking at seasonality, locally grown and organic. As well as handy tips like how volunteering can be a great way to cook and share with your community, school or loved ones.
Week Four: Cooking for the Pocket
With costs rising across the board, this week we pull out some store cupboard showstoppers, speedy staples and simple nutritious recipes to cook creatively on a budget, with the little addition of a simple yet sensational seasonal streusel!
