Cooking for Life

WE HAVE GOOD NEWS! More sessions will follow in 2025 following a generous local donation. We are grateful to local donors for supporting this work.

These sessions are designed to grow confidence in using basic cookery methods and techniques which are common to many meals. Practical knowhow and a sound understanding of the role of food in nutrition has an enormous bearing on personal health and well-being, and when combined plays a big role in restoring healthy local food systems.

These photos are from the latest round of workshops which was funded by the Monmouthshire Food Partnership.

Learning outdoors: foraging nettles for soup [27 March 2024]

We would like to hear from anyone who might be able to support these workshops, either by making a financial donation towards the continuation of the sessions, or, by suppling (or donating) seasonal produce and goods.

At the Community Centre we are collaborators who long to work alongside people and organisations that share our vision for rebuilding a viable, local food system. Volunteers are also welcome to apply to assist future sessions. Please send an Email to: aber.hub@gmail.com.

Silky, nutritious and delicious food – right here on our doorsteps! [there’s plenty to go around. Contact us if you would like to join a foraging session in March/April 2025.]
