Community Cooks in Action
You Can Cook in partnership with Lamancha Hub and Whitmuir Organic Farm ran a series of successful classes for the community in Lamancha. The project was well supported by MP David Mundell and Peebles Councillor Catriona Bhatia.
Participants had to pick fresh produce from the farm, where local farmer Pete Ritchie alongwith his staff gave valuable information about organic farming and its health benefit for us all.
After having picked the fresh produce, participants then had to wash and help in the preparation of a healthy meal which they then sat down to eat and socialise with the group. The cookery classes were conducted by a team of community cooks from our organisation.

"We joined forces with You Can Cook to deliver a series of healthy cookery
workshops to help migrants integrate into the Scottish Borders. The focus was
on seasonal Scottish produce, easy and quick recipes. The class was a mix of
migrant workers and locals who had great fun and helped in the integration process.
Lukasz Bogus, Development Worker, Eildon Housing Association
Bosco and his team bring a variety of experience to a project, engaging participants
and making the whole process not only a learning experience but also very importantly
fun. Their ability to engage such a wide range of attendees was a key to the
success of our course."
Kath McCaffrey, Development Officer, Lamancha Hub
"Thank you very much for sending Douglas to work with our children they had

fun. Once again many thanks."

did for the pupils yesterday. They all were keen to get involved and really enjoyed

well received and enjoyed by all. The kids were a great bunch and we have some
great photos of them joining in, great fun and thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks again!!"

"I thought I'd send a short e-mail to thank you very much for your talk. I must
tell you that you went down a storm. I was told that you're the best speaker
the club has had for ages...Good feedback, well deserved, and nobody dropped
off to sleep. Thanks very much once again and all the best for the future to "You
Can Cook"."
Gordon Sanders (Convenor), International Committee, Rotary Club of Penicuick
"We had an excellent interactive session with easy to do and adaptable recipes
with great scope for all sorts of leftovers to be incorporated and gave people
a lot of ideas and inspiration. The information that was given about nutrition,
environmental care and safety was well balanced and the actual food cooked was
DELICIOUS!!! Everybody who attended really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend
this session to other groups."
