Cook and Share Toolkit

Cook and Share returns for 2024 to help inspire the nation to get cooking, together. With four key themes to explore: Cooking for People, Cooking for Pleasure, Cooking for Planet, and Cooking for the Pocket. Each week has resources and tips to get your cooking activities simmering.

Week One: Cooking for People

Bonfire Night is the perfect time 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, easy peasy tray roast 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!
