Stay Connected Cooking and Growing Resources

Food for Life Get Togethers have produced amazing resources to show that we can still get involved with people in our community, young and old by sharing, growing and cooking food in the following ways:

• Socially distanced events – like sharing a fajita over the fence with a neighbour.
• Virtual events – put a get together in the diary and meet up online.
• Household activities – doing something at home, like planting seeds, and share it after either virtually or by social distancing.

Look here and you will find handy tips for gardening such as growing strawberries here, pea shoots here, potatoes in a bag here well as recipes to share across generations and communities. These resources will help you to generate conversations across generations by getting people involved in sharing their own experiences such as asking what is your favourite dish that includes peas or potatoes or strawberries. Get creative and have some fun. You will also find a resource guide on sharing, cooking and eating food and a guide on nutrition for older people.
