At the heart of Trinity Methodist Churchis the desire to be church in the community; to share who we are and to be there for one another as neighbours in Ellesmere Port.A recent funding opportunity has now allowed us to develop a ‘Pop Up’ approach to sharing cookery skills.
The Pop Up was initiated by volunteers who love cooking and the initiative has also been supported by Community Food Workers from Links Healthy Living Centre. Thursday morning is always busy at the community café in Trinity. It seemed the ideal time to try this new approach and to focus on seasonal foods using basic recipes which had potential to be spiced up. The funding allowed us to buy equipment and work directly in the café, so ‘Daily Bread’ was full of good smells as people from across the community visited. Week one was home-made Tomato Sauce. This simple recipe details how to make a simple sauce and shares a number of ideas on how to spice this up. On Thursdays visitors have the chance to taste the food we make, to watch the process and to chat with the cooks. It’s proving a real success and we’d love it if you dropped in to say hello and find out more. If you love cooking and want to pass on your skills, come and get involved. We’d also appreciate any donations for ingredients to support the Pop Up. A huge thank you to Wendy and Links Healthy Living Centre for all their hard work!‘Pop-up’ is a Trinity Methodist ChurchProject supported by our Foodbank. The initial £500 investment for this was received from EPNAVCO’s Health and Well Being fund.
