PSA: these grapes are ridiculously tasty! Black grapes also pack in way more polyphenols than green and red skinned versions, so that's a bonus 💜

We're loving the seasonal apple and pear harvest in our food groups just now! We've potted up batches of stewed apple in Sunny Soups for the past few weeks and picked fruit from a Sunny's Kitchen diner's garden for a delicious crumble in Cook Your Tea. There are also so many varieties to choose from in the shop just now, from local gardens and Tyninghame Organic Orchard 🍎🍏🍐

On Friday morning we hit a milestone in Sunny Soups: the bumper crop of 26L of cream of broccoli & courgette soup we made (plus 6 pots of stewed apple) tipped us over the line to a total of seven tonnes of soup made since the project started in 2017! Well, mostly soup - some seasonal stewed apple and the occasional curry or pasta sauce.

This calculates out at the equivalent of slightly over 28,000 portions!

A huge thank you to our loyal volunteers, the longest-serving of whom has chopped veg for the project most weeks since August 2017. Thank you Heather!!

Thank you so much to the Squirrels for making wonderful Autumn table decorations and coming to sing to our (packed out!) Sunny's Kitchen meal on Monday! It was a crowded room and must have been intimidating, they did an amazing job 😊

FREE COOKING COURSE for ages 12 - 16

Hannah here: I'm going to pilot a version of my children's Cook Your Tea cooking course for grammar-school-aged children in November. I have a couple of spaces available on this first course, and if it goes to plan will then run others next year.

I will prioritise spaces for children who have not already attended during primary school, to open access to as many as possible.

If you have a child who would like to learn to cook (and clear up 😉) independently, send me an email and I'll reply with a sign-up sheet: Hannah at [email protected]

To whoever left this on our barrows today, thank you, it really did brighten our day! Today was pretty difficult with the internet down (meaning major till drama) and this random act of kindness put a smile on our faces ☺️🧡

A few quick snaps of some of our recent Cook Club and Cook Your Tea classes - there have been some lovely quotes overheard recently: 'I'm quite glad I signed up for this, are you? It's really fun!', 'I LOVE cooking class!', 'I can't wait to eat this for dinner' and 'Can I just eat it now?'. Requests for the snack plates have included mango, kiwi, peppers, cucumber and tomatoes, and twice the amount of cheese 😁

In the last fortnight we've made pizza, lentil soup, cheese scones, veg & pesto puff pastry tarts, chocolate mousse, chocolate orange French toast, Sunshine soup and cheddar soda bread 🍽️
