Virtual Kitchen with Windmill Community Gardens

Virtual Kitchen

Next week we will be co-hosting a series of Virtual Kitchen sessions.

Teaming up with Windmill Community Gardens in their Home Pumpkin Celebration we will co-host a
series of Virtual Kitchen Events on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next week. Funded by Food for Life Get Togethers the sessions will be held online through Zoom where a pre recorded video tutorial will be streamed on Zoom and there'll be time to hang out before and after.

We are making it accessible so that as many people as possible can take part by offering a catch up session by sharing the video with people who may not have internet or wifi. We will also be able to provide the ingredients to those who may not be able to afford it otherwise. Local guest chef's will demonstrate some of the recipes and so will Tracy Lloyd from Windmill Community Gardens.

These sessions are a trial of some socially distanced and virtual cooking together sessions that we hope to run in partnership with Windmill Community Gardens.
