Who are we?
The contributors of the recipes here are from a co produced workshop on Cooking With Support facilitated by Eleanor Lisney.
The workshop came about from our Covid experience where many of us were stuck in isolation unable to access food and especially hot, cooked food which were not commercially processed. We shared tips and spoke of our different methods on negotiating cooking with different impairments (mobility issues, visual impairments, neuro divergent). We came from different traditions, nations and cultures ( Persian, German, East / South East Asian, African, Caribbean, Moroccan, South Asian and English). We shared stories of what the dishes meant to us. Some of us were vegans or vegetarians as well. Some were not able to attend on the day itself but shared through the WhatsApp group formed from the group.
