At the heart of Trinity Methodist Church
is 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 Church
Project supported by our Foodbank. The initial £500 investment for this was
received from EPNAVCO’s Health and Well Being fund.
