Learn, Cook, Share, Eat, Repeat! Is a series of healthy eating, low budget, food workshops aimed primarily at female survivors of domestic abuse and other gender-based violence.
Learn, Cook, Share, Eat, Repeat! will be led by an experienced Home Economics Tutor, and will help survivors and their families LEARN how to prepare and COOK inexpensive, quick and nutritious meals, making the most of store cupboard ingredients, and reduce food waste by showing them how to make the best use of leftovers. We will cover: Essential cooking skills Advice on healthy eating and nutrition How to create a weekly shopping list Menu planning on a tight budget Using leftover ingredients Cooking with minimum fuel costs Our plans are much needed, and ambitious, especially as we emerge from a 2-year pandemic, have seen food and energy costs soar, and inflation rising rapidly. We want to empower women and families to LEARN to COOK healthier meals that they in turn can SHARE with family and friends, so REPEAT-ing the process. Each workshop will see the group socialise and share and EAT the food that has be created during that session giving the women a sense of self-worth.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
My Sisters Kitchen is the social enterprise behind Learn, Cook, Eat, Share, Repeat! We share the vision of Sunderland City Council Healthy City Plan, and our project addresses the need to tackle health inequalities and focus on education and prevention. Recent data shows, in Sunderland 22.1% of children aged 4-5 are classified as overweight or obese, and 36.9% of year 6 children have a prevalence of being overweight (including obesity). Sunderland is one of the 20 UK Local Authority areas which saw the highest increases in child poverty from 2014/15 to 2019/20 from 27.4% to 37.6%. Poverty, Domestic Abuse and Mental Health are interlinked and statistic show that the majority of women living in poverty have poor mental health, and are also survivors of domestic abuse. We need grassroots ways of tackling these social factors by providing safe spaces where food education and affordable healthier food is readily available for all, whilst helping to promote self-care and self-esteem.

My Sisters’ Kitchen (MSK) Community Food Project was originally a project ran by FISCUS NORTH LIMITED (charity 1151656); this project has now been developed into a stand-alone social enterprise, commercially trading, community kitchen, bakery and training facility.
We are based on the outskirts of the city centre, and run fully funded and paid cooking workshops for people of all ages from across our City. We use cooking as a tool to educate, empower and connect.We particularly support women who face disadvantage / barriers by helping improve their self-esteem.
Our vision is to help anyone in our community, especially those in marginalised groups and those facing barriers and inequalities; these people will benefit by increased: self-worth, confidence, motivation, self-belief, and increased aspirations. Our community food project helps equip people with transferable skills for the working world.
We are a partner of Bags of Taste and in 2023 we will deliver their courses to 120 people living in food poverty in Sunderland. For more information about Bags of Taste and the impact they have on the people they support, visit their website https://bagsoftaste.org.
