At Alehousewells Nursery, Hannah Mathieson \u2013 Excellence and Equity Lead Practitioner ran a pilot in partnership with Garioch Community Kitchen as part of her Family Engagement responsibility within her role. We had 3 different Meal Kits, 1 breakfast Bag and 2 Main Meal Kits. The meal kit was offered at the price of only \u00a31! It includes fresh shop bought ingredients and a recipe to follow \u2013 bargain! The families kindly provided pictures of their recipes and some feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We held a Coffee and Cake Session in the nursery with families who wished to take part. Mandy – who is the Cooking Development Tutor – kindly demonstrated an easy breakfast recipe using oats and fresh fruit. This sparked discussion among families about the rise in food costs and comparing different supermarket prices. It was a great networking session, and the families received a free breakfast bag of oats and fruit to try at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the near future, Garioch kitchen and I are running a 6-week programme for a maximum of 10 families. All of these families will receive a free slow cooker and will attend sessions including easy recipes to prepare using their new equipment. There will also be sessions discussing healthy eating on a budget and promoting healthy eating and minimal food waste at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
