We’re buzzing to host our friends at The Winch as they organise a series of cooking workshops at the Likewise Community Hub & Kitchen this summer. These workshops are part of their ongoing work on The Good Neighbourhood project, and unite us in our shared mission to bring people together over the simple but meaningful joys of food and nutrition. Here’s a word from them:
The Shared Plate is a project that is organising cooking workshops in local spaces to teach affordable, healthy, and culturally diverse recipes. We are partnering with food co-ops, local chefs, and nutritionists to develop recipes and create a community cookbook—available both online and in print.
You’ll find a snippet of each session, when it’s happening, and where to book your free tickets a little further down. Or, to find out more about The Good Neighbourhood project, visit their website by clicking the button below!
