Cooking up a storm at the Vegetarian Society
Food Story
The Vegetarian Society, one of our long-standing Community Food Members in Greater Manchester, invited the FareShare GM team to join a hands-on cooking workshop using surplus food. Events like this highlight how our partners turn good-to-eat surplus food into nutritious meals for local communities.
A group of FareShare Greater Manchester team members had a great evening cooking up a storm at the Vegetarian Society recently.
Based in Greater Manchester, the Vegetarian Society is a registered charity that has been running for 175 years. The charity is one of our Community Food Members (CFMs) and has been sourcing good-to-eat surplus food from us to use in its work.
The FareShare Greater Manchester team was invited to join one of their cooking workshops at their new venue in Ancoats. We were split into two teams, designated partners to cook with and set to work creating a great meal. There were two dishes to make, both of them curries, one was Thai and the other one Mauritian.
Maz, the resident chef at the Vegetarian Society was a brilliant teacher. The food was delicious and after all our hard work we were able to sit down and eat together sharing each other’s dishes.
Ruth Downes, Head of Development for FareShare Greater Manchester said:
“We’d like to thank Maz and the Vegetarian Society for inviting us down to the workshop. We all thought it was brilliant, it was a fantastic venue and Maz was a brilliant host and teacher. It was great to learn two new recipes – and we’d recommend it to anyone!”
