Teaching Everyone to Cook

www.cancook.co.uk
Teaching Liverpool to Cook was set up to get the whole city cooking again – to start a ‘Cookery Revolution’, the first of its kind in the UK. We have a 3 year plan to get everybody in Liverpool excited about food and cookery again! The aim this year was to raise £50,000 during a 100 Day Campaign – through company contributions and donations from trusts and foundations, to allow us to provide approximately 2,000 people – younger and older, with basic but intensive training focused on cooking from scratch. Each contributing company or organisation will also send one member of staff on our corporate cookery training sessions – promoting health in the workplace and giving
Can Cook Cookery School
companies a great opportunity to network. During the training we will look for 100 individuals who show a particular interest in cookery to return to us for a Masterclass Session – becoming cookery ambassadors for their workplace, area or community. As the training ends, 1000’s will have been trained and we will be much closer to claiming that LIVERPOOL CAN COOK.

60 per cent of 18 to 25 year olds leave home without being able to cook common dishes like Spaghetti Bolognaise

Todays young people are growing up in a world filled with convenience foods and a lack of food education. This has led to a deskilled generation unable to pass cookery skills to their own children. 60% of adults in the UK no longer cook and children are growing up in an environment where cooking is seen as a chore and eating out, convenience food and takeaways are the norm . Teaching Liverpool to Cook will address this . Can Cook Cookery School

Why Cooking Matters Obesity – it’s everywhere!
” An abundance of convenience and takeaway foods, paired with reduced access to affordable foods has led to a decline in basic home cooking and a heavy reliance on ready meals and fast food.” Britain has the highest rate of obesity in Europe Obesity is one of the biggest threats to health in this country
Early on in life, 1 in 10 of our children are obese when they start school and by the age of 10 this has risen to more than 1 in 5 If something is not done to stop this - predictions have been made that by 2050, 60% of adult men, 50% of adult women and 25% of children will be obese or overweight Right now obesity is linked to 30,000 deaths per year
Let’s get everyone cooking! Teaching Liverpool to Cook will address these issues, taking a preventative route to improve the health of thousands across Liverpool. We want to get EVERYONE cooking. Eating is now about refuelling rather than enjoyment – let’s turn this around and get everyone enjoying food again!
1/4 British households no longer has a table to eat around – yet shared household meals have been associated with better nutrition, healthier dietary patterns and increased intake of fruit and vegetables!
4 out of 10 Britons say that they actually enjoy eating meals with their children - but
eating together as a family means parents have better control over what their children eat Getting young people involved and enjoying cooking food for themselves is really important for the next generation of adults and for keeping cookery alive!

” Everything Can Cook does comes back to teaching everyone to cook and enjoy healthier, fresh and home-made food for themselves and their families”
100 Days of training –
how we will do it Social Can Cook will use its already established city-wide network to recruit young people under 25 from schools, community groups, workplaces and through organisations who have contributed to the campaign. We will then train each young person to cook a number of meals from scratch and give them the skills and enthusiasm they need to carry on cooking for themselves.
Corporate One staff member will be recruited from all companies who contribute to attend one of our corporate cookery sessions at Can Cook’s state-of-the-art studio alongside other firms. As well as promoting health and wellbeing in the workplace - this will be a unique networking opportunity – combined with a great mix of Chef demonstrations, practical cooking and time to enjoy a stunning two course meal and a glass of wine while you network!
Cookery Ambassadors 100 individuals showing a particular interest in cookery will be selected from each of the above groups to return to us for a Masterclass Session – becoming Cookery Ambassadors for their workplace, area or community.

Schools Teaching young people is the lifeblood of this campaign and we will build on the success of our previous work to make sure the children and young people of Liverpool can cook for themselves. Our work with schools began in 2008 with Schools Sessions - a knock-out cookery competition. Each school gets 3 hours of training with our Chefs - before going head-to-head with another school to create 3 courses in 1.5 hours. Each team is judged by a panel of food experts before the winners are announced. The winners proceed to the next round until one school is crowned winner! The winning team then works with our Chefs to produce a 3 course meal for
Can Cook Cookery School
150 guests at the Finale Gala Evening. It’s a brilliant opportunity for the pupils as well as being a lot of fun! As well as the competition - we run cookery days and evenings from the Studio for School and Community Groups, as well as taking our Chefs out to run live demos and cook-alongs in our Pop-up Studio.
