Act Globally, Cook Locally

Would you like to develop your cooking skills as part of your Climate Action?

Why might you wish to do this? Well, the United Nations tells us that we need to eat less meat and dairy products and eat more plant-based foods, in order to reduce our impact on the planet and mitigate climate change. Please visit this website for more information:

https://www.un.org/en/actnow/food 

 The page is headed: Your guide to climate action: Food

We are not suggesting that we all become vegans, but we might all learn to cook some plant-based meals, using various sources of protein, such as beans, lentils, chickpeas, nuts, seeds and grains.

For more about the science on plant-based food, please visit: https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/climate-issues/food

which is headed: Food and Climate Change: Healthy diets for a healthier planet

Recipes - the morning will include people working in teams of five or so, to prepare a nut roast and a bean casserole - two tasty vegan recipes. Colin will also demonstrate two other vegan recipes: including a seasonal soup and we will be able to sample these recipes.

After the end of the cookery session, you are invited to stay in the hall and eat the bean casserole together or you may take your portion home in the container provided.

Background - a similar session was run at Main Street Community Church in May for people belonging to the church. Nine people attended, both male and female. On the feedback forms, all nine people ticked to say that they had enjoyed the session and that they would " tell family and friends that cooking with Fresh Beginnings is a good idea."

They all said that they had learned something new and that they would use new ideas, giving examples. 

Booking - to book your place, please email Ruth Basden using info@climateactionfrodsham.com and she will note your name and reply to you, sending details of the bank account for your £10 deposit.

Please note that numbers are limited to ten people, so to be sure of your place, please email Ruth sooner, rather than later!
