This Thursday (8th October) we’ll be throwing open the doors of The Can Cook Studio at the Matchworks in Garston welcoming people to come take part in our weekend and evening cookery sessions.

We opened our studio in May this year at the Matchworks – a great business park in South Liverpool. The design of the building means we’ve had the space to design our studio and create a state of the art and fully equipped cookery centre – a first at the Matchworks and somewhere we hope will become a drop in for other people on the site. We’ll be demonstrating dishes from our new programme which will include Indian, Thai, vegetarian and traditional cuisine. Just think how much you could impress your mum at Christmas dinner this year – or your mates next time they fancy a curry!

We began our quest to get people cooking back in 2006, our organisation was born from the Five Children and Families Trust and the Primary Care trust who were responding to community interest in fresh food and cooking from scratch. Can Cook created a dynamic training environment to engage anyone and everyone in the whole food experience, primarily through learning to cook.

If you can’t make it this week, our studio is open at weekends and in the evenings. Anyone that is interested in food and cooking can come and learn, taking part in sessions with our resident chefs, some of whom are from great Liverpool restaurants.
