Cook For Good

🥣And of course, the Cook for Good team, who have made the whole process a pleasure, and our community members, whose frank feedback on our weekly Pantry soups created the list of favourites that we have shared in this book.

🥣A whole bunch of brilliant contributors, including @LexyTopping, Martin Godwin, Nikki Littman, Manuel Harlan, Rachel de Thample, Jason Boswell, Louise Machin, Dan Jacobs, Jonny Geller, and Sabhbh Curran.

🥣It's Soup for Good launch day! And to give you a good idea of just how excited we all are, here's our community manager Martha's response when she saw a copy for the first time 😄 🤩 😊

@JonnyGeller @Nigella_Lawson Thanks @JonnyGeller, it's a big week for us here at Cook for Good!

@Nigella_Lawson Thanks so much @Nigella_Lawson - and for writing us a beautiful foreword and donating one of your favourite soup recipes too.

This is a fantastic initiative!

Thank you so much to our culinary partners, who have funded the publication of Soup for Good: @BaxterStorey, @GenuineDining, @HoustonHawkes and @RA__UK. And to @Havas, @PeabodyLDN, @phoenixcourtworks and @tpbennettllp for providing extra support.

It's packed with recipes for delicious soups, breads and toppings that you'll come back to again and again, as well as stories from some of our community's much-loved characters.

IT'S HERE! Our gorgeous new cookbook, Soup for Good, is now available for pre-order – and if we get 400 orders in the next 4 weeks through our crowdfunder campaign, we'll raise a massive £50,000 to support and scale our community work. Will you help? cookforgood.uk/crowdfunder

@JoBurkill @lilyallen @KarenMattison We’d love to welcome you to our next Supper Club @lilyallen - chef Witchet has had rave reviews from foodies including @Nigella_Lawson and @jayrayner1 and it’s going to be a fantastic night. More info here: cookforgood.uk/supperclub

@lilyallen You need Cook for Good & @KarenMattison. Based in the heart of social housing by Kings Cross station. They run supper clubs - with top chefs - funding a community kitchen & social pantry on the estate. Volunteers from the estate run it all, it’s their thing. This one is 19 Sep

having been in NY for most of the time since covid i’ve spent long enough away to notice how far the standards have slipped in London’s restaurant scene. There are two places where that isn’t the case, and are still as good as the first time i went. The Afghan Kitchen and Barrafina

Frightening news for anyone trying to shop on a budget. We're supporting the Priory Green Estate community with a surplus food pantry; members choose a basket of shopping for just £3.50, with food donated by @felixprojectuk and Food Bank Aid. news.sky.com/story/lowest-c…

Here's our community team in action, powering a recent dining event. We're about to start our Community Brigade training course, which will give a group of community members the skills and experience they need to work in catering or hospitality; watch this space.

Fancy a team night out that also helps people in need? We believe food tastes all the better when you know it's creating #socialimpact... and with Dine for Good, we do it in style. Now taking booking for festive dinners; why not spend your budget with a community, not a company?

We're now taking bookings for 'Dine for Good' team Christmas dinners, as well as cooking-based teambuilding events; find out more here: cookforgood.uk/business/teamb…

What are your ingredients for a perfect evening? Our first ever fundraising Supper Club had everything we could have wished for; the fab @edballs as host, amazing food, sparkling guests and a team of volunteers from our community who helped run the show and did us proud.

Big thanks to @edballs who is hosting our first-ever fundraising Supper Club this evening. He came in bright and early this morning to work with our community volunteers to prep the meal, and will be doing a cooking demo and a Q and A for our guests later tonight. We can't wait!

It’s such a wonderful thing that @KarenMattison and others are doing with Cook for Good theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/s…

@Nigella_Lawson @KarenMattison Thanks @nigella_lawson for your support. Please do pop in for some soup next time you are in the area 😊
