Cracking Good Food
A Not for Profit Social Enterprise
est 2010
Our mission is to promote cooking skills in local communities by delivering cooking courses and training, as part of a wider campaign for affordable, sustainable & healthier food for all.
We raise awareness & campaign against food waste, using surplus unwanted food that’s re-distributed via Fareshare North West for all our Community cooking, thus diverting food from composting o
Cracking Good Food launched in March 2010, at Chorlton’s Big Green Festival, with the aim of getting more people in the North West to cook and eat homemade food, by teaching both the paying public and community groups.
We believe cooking is a vital life skill that everyone should have the opportunity to learn.
