Building on the success of our 4-week 'learn to cook' course last autumn, this year Didsbury Dinners aims to teach another 100+ people how to cook, for free!

We signed Manchester's climate change action plan 'Manchester: A Certain Future' (see http://www.manchesterclimate.com/home) and again wish to make sustainability the focus of the Didsbury Dinners 'learn to cook' sessions.

This means teaching people to cook in a way that has a positive benefit on their health, saves them money, and also helps the environment. So we'll be focusing on making it easier for people to buy or grow their own local, seasonal food, cut down on food waste, reduce meat and dairy consumption, avoid packaging, and recycle.

If you'd like to help us achieve this ambitious goal, please complete the survey below. We really appreciate your support.
