Eating Well Together

Food is an amazing way to bring people together.

Cooking and eating food doesn’t have to be a chore – instead, it should be an enjoyable experience, particularly when shared with others.

Here are some simple ideas for making eating well a social activity:

• Try out a new recipe with your loved ones – get children involved in cooking to teach them valuable food preparation skills.
• Join a local food community group through your local IWN network. Make new friends and try new foods at the same time!
• Catching up with an old friend? Cook at home and share a meal together.
• Pick a day each week to try out a new food or dish together with your family.
• Try out some volunteering at a local food bank or community kitchen. You can find local opportunities available through your nearest IWN.
