food belongs to everyone

Food isn’t the preserve of posh restaurants and fancy chefs. Everyone knows something about food and everyone has valid opinions about it. We can all enjoy food and reap the benefits from it.

everyone can have a go at cooking it

Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. With a little bit of basic know-how, cooking fresh
tasty food can be quite simple. No-one should be nervous about having a go!

everyone can afford to eat well

No matter what your budget is, with a bit of clever shopping and careful cooking you can eat as well as anyone else.

food can make a difference

Food is powerful. It can bring people and families together. It can make you feel fantastic, energized, comforted, loved and above all, happy! It nourishes your body and soul.
