Open Arms is pleased to announce our new project called “Efficient and Healthy Cooking” Funded by the Volant Trust which brings women, including lone isolated mothers, from minority ethnic, migrants and refugee backgrounds, together and provides them with an educational and practical program about the health benefits of using fresh ingredients, efficiency in shopping and cooking, and passing on budgeting tips for keeping food bills as low as possible whilst eating well. The sessions happen once a week. Each session entails 1 hour theory, 2 hours shopping, and 3 hours kitchen time.
The project worker instructs and leads the group, and participants learn:
1-Efficiency and sustainability in the context of preparing meals for the family
2-How to avoid compromising health and nutrition
3-How to source ingredients for cooking efficiently
4-How to shop for food considering efficiency and sustainability
5-Practicing efficient and sustainable recipes and cooking methods in a kitchen
6- Learning and practicing food waste elimination and left-over management.
