Cook and Share Toolkit

Plant and Share returns for 2024 to help inspire the nation to get growing, together. With four key themes to explore: Growing for All, Growing for Joy, Growing to Eat and Growing for Nature, each week has resources and tips to get your growing activities off the ground.

Week One: Growing for All

Plant and Share is about ensuring that growing your own food is as easy and accessible for everyone, from first time growers to community organisers, whether you're growing in an outdoor space, or windowsill, we've got you covered.

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!
