Get hands-on cooking and celebrating local food
Help us celebrate local foods and heritage recipes with planting workshops and cookery sessions! Together, we’ll explore traditional ways of cooking and celebrate the food and farming history of Knowsley with a menu for our events. If you love food, cooking, or gardening, this is for you! Contact us to take part in Eating Knowsley or any of the other areas of the project.
This week Alison held the first of our community cooking session, joined by volunteers, Alison embraced potatoes cooking up a storm with three batches of potato cakes with a slightly modern twist creating canapes. There’s more next week and over the summer so get in touch to join in the fun!
Alison Lockett-Burke is our Eating Knowsley expert, a long-time food obsessive, with deep roots in Liverpool’s food scene, a background in teaching, and owner-operator of the catering collective Fig and the Wild and Burner Street Food.
“I am really excited to be part of this project, to meet and work alongside a great community and together bring the food traditions and histories of Knowsley back to our tables.”
Alison will share her love for food through 6-8 workshops over the summer – bringing people together in a community kitchen space to collectively cook and celebrate local produce and heritage recipes.
Meet all our creative experts. Whether you’ve got a knack for research, love telling stories, or want to get hands-on in creative workshops, there’s something for you! Join in and at the end of it all you’ll have helped capture and bring to life Knowsley’s heritage by contributing to an exhibition everyone can explore.
