Over a dozen cooking enthusiasts vied to become this year’s Live Well Cook Off Winners at our annual group cooking competition held at Limborough Green Hub on Satrurday the 22nd of September.
Our Live Well Community Training Kitchen was again teeming with passionate local gardeners who also love to make recipes out of home-grown greens.
In groups of 4, they had fun while working for two hours to cook vegetarian meals out of ingredients mostly harvested from their own gardens. They delighted friends, relatives and guests with the lovely aroma of fresh herbs, brightly coloured vegetables and the soothing smell of simmering soups.

On the same day, Clyo Parecchini, our Green Hub co-ordinator handed out awards to the winners of the Heaviest Kodu competition and the Chilli Plant with the most chillies produced.
