Virtual Cooking Class with Mick Elysée
Did you know that the average person in the UK spends a whopping £451 each year on takeaways?
Though a convenient option, it's not always the healthiest or most sustainable. This is why we called on our supporters to ditch the styrofoam containers and for £22 a month (less than your average takeaway for 2), changing the life of a woman survivor of war.
Recipes to help you ditch the takeaways
To celebrate World Food Day and our Serving Up Sisterhood campaign we joined renowned Congolese-French Chef Mick Élysée in his kitchen for a virtual cooking class. Visit the event page for the delicious recipes Mick shared at the event.
