Cook Fresh Club: A Community-Focussed Food Initiative : Llanhilleth Miners Institute

How it works

For a weekly fee of £3.00, Cook Fresh members receive a comprehensive meal pack and a step-by-step recipe guide.
Each pack offers enough ingredients to prepare a main course and sides for a family of four.
The programme emphasises fresh, seasonal ingredients and supports local businesses.

Delicious and Nutritious

Members have enjoyed a variety of mouth watering dishes, including:

Cheese and potato pie with sugar snap peas
Ratatouille
Halloumi and vegetable kebabs with paprika wedges

As the seasons change, we're excited to introduce new, fresh recipes to keep meals interesting and flavourful.

Making a Difference

Thanks to generous funding, Cook Fresh members receive approximately £12.00 worth of food each week, making healthy, home-cooked meals more accessible and affordable for local families.

What it means to our community

The recipes and been fabulous, they are healthy and filling too! I don’t drive, so it has been really convenient that the Institute is right on my doorstep to collect the weekly recipe and ingredients.

The best thing about the cook fresh project for me personally has been cooking new and healthy recipes from scratch. I have enjoyed following recipes and I think they are a great idea, as I often run out of inspiration and get fed up with cooking the same things.

My granddaughters get excited every Wednesday, they always ask what the recipe is for that week, and they look forward to helping me prepare it – it encourages them to try new healthy foods.

Both myself and my husband work but with the cost of living at the moment, everything is so expensive – especially food. The Cook Fresh project has helped a lot and not just financially. I have really enjoyed cooking new recipes, with local produce from scratch, with my granddaughters.

Following a recipe helps me to cook from scratch and it has made me far more confident cooking. I have absolutely loved the Cook Fresh programme. I have cooked new recipes and used a lot of seasonal vegetables I wouldn’t normally cook with.

I don’t cook without meat very often, but I was impressed with how nice some of the ‘meat free’ dishes were. The children have really enjoyed the meals and they are eating more vegetables which is a big plus!
