Cookery

Cookery courses, pop-up cafés and community meals

We deliver cookery classes with local people, looking to help improve cooking skills and diets. Our focus is always how to cook healthy meals with fresh food on a budget. Classes are fun, using easy recipes; the recipes we teach are always chosen in conversation with the group participating – we want to help you learn how to cook what you want to eat! Our cooks will share their top nutritional and budgeting tips, as well as ideas on batch cooking, cooking for fussy children, recipe ideas for specific diets, how you can reduce food waste and much more.

Our classes provide the ideal conditions to build confidence and promote cultural exchange and connection in the community.

Get in touch to find out when our next class is on, everyone is welcome. If your organisation, school, club or youth group, would like us to run a cookery course then please contact us!

Please check back regularly here and follow our social media to find out details of upcoming cookery classes.

If your organisation, school, club or youth group, would like us to run a cookery course leading up to a fun event, fill in your details or phone 0141 772 0299.

Pre-Natal Cookery classes

We can deliver pre-natal cookery classes. Parents learn to make their own baby food, rather than buying expensive jars and tins.

Be a cooking volunteer

If you have a passion for healthy food and are a good home cook, please volunteer to be a cookery assistant. Having volunteers means more one-to-one support for people. And from time to time we run courses for assistants to train to become community cooks, a good job opportunity.

We helped develop the North Glasgow Youth Food Guidelines and Healthy Eating Toolkit. Download a copy. Youth organisations in the North can hire our the cookery tool kit on request.

We also have lots of healthy recipe cards – if you’d like some let us know.
