‘Scran: a young person’s guide to easy cooking’
Youth Voice Hartlepool are aware of many Hartlepool people, including the young, being directly affected by the cost of living. As a result, they have produced this brilliant book of quick, easy and healthy recipes. Written by young people but hoping to inspire everyone. You can find it HERE.
Three days of recipes from a Food Bank bag (COMING SOON)
Many people at some stage need to visit a Food Bank where you are provided with three days of food. Trussell runs many of these including Hartlepool’s Food Bank and has created three days of recipes using the contents of their usual food bag. Working in partnership with LilyAnne’s Wellbeing Café we have made recipe videos for these, which can be found HERE.
Links for Amazing Children Cookery Shows
Cbeebies has two amazing cookery shows for children which we heartily recommend to help them learn and appreciate food even more, and hopefully also try out the recipes with their grown ups. These are Big Cook Little Cook and My World Kitchen.
Recipes from the former Hartlepool Food Network
We have a series of over 40 brilliant recipes and associated videos provided to us from the former Hartlepool Food Network. From Sausage and Bean Casserole to Sweet Potato Chilli, find them all below.
