FoodCycle community meals bring people together with good food and conversation.
We serve up free, wholesome meals made from food that would have gone to waste. It’s fun, free and there’s always pudding.
As part of the cooking team, you'll be working with other volunteers to turn our haul of surplus food into a nutritious meal!
You don't need any previous cooking experience just some enthusiasm!
As a Cooking Volunteer you’ll join the kitchen team to help produce a three-course vegetarian meal using surplus food.
You’ll contribute to recipe ideas, help with prepping the food, cooking the meal, and of course clearing up afterwards!
You’ll be supported by a FoodCycle Project Leader, who will help you to develop your kitchen skills.
You don’t need to have any previous experience – just be willing to get stuck in!
Skills
You don't need to have any previous cooking or serving experience, although if you do that is just as welcome!
