COOK! - the new vegetarian kitchen teaching Mancs to cook

MCRJourno

'COOK!' with the Vegetarian Society is now fully open in Ancoats, Manchester with an array of workshops, supper clubs and experiences, delivered from their bespoke teaching kitchen in the heart of Manchester city.

The Vegetarian Society and COOK! moved into and installed their new school in what was originally an electricity sub-station in Jersey Street, Ancoats.

Housing COOK! in this unique venue gives the workshops an accessible home and it is set to become a hub for community cooking and professional training, making plant-based and vegetarian cooking more exciting and inclusive.

Sam Linford- Platt, Head of COOK!, said: "People have loved our recent ‘Lions Mane Mushroom’ workshop and devoured the ‘Build a Bahn Mi’ class - it’s a really relaxed place to cook and experiment with food, whilst gaining confidence in the kitchen.

"Our venue is a focal point for plant-based and vegetarian cooking and we have something for everyone, from our short social supper clubs through to full training weeks and community classes."

From evening Supper Clubs and Curry Clubs where budding chefs can learn new skills and cook along with tutors to half and full-day experiences like Oodles of Noodles, Kick Start Korean, Dim Sum, Vegan Street Food, Plant Powered Protein, or Taco Time, there's plenty to get suck into.

For those who want to gain in-depth knowledge of vegetarian and vegan cookery there is a five-day Vegetarian Society Certificate in Vegetarian & Vegan Cookery.

Workshops start from £35 and can be booked online at the Vegetarian Society website - www.vegsoc.org/cook.
