We shared recipes from across the world and we also made a cook book. We were lucky to get some funding from the Womens’ Fund Scotland to create two blocks of ten sessions over the next year.“We are wanting to include our black and ethnic minority groups in Renfrewshire to not only cook food and eat food, but also share cultural traditions and ingredients.

It is like a family-style event where we can sit around a big table and talk about food.“It gets us together after lockdown because we have not been able to sit around the table with each other for a long time.
