Cheap & Easy Climate Emergency Christmas Cookery Workshop Monday 25th November

On Monday 25th November, a free Christmas cookery workshop will take place at Todmorden’s Central Methodist Church, Union Street, Todmorden, OL14 5AW, with free samples of food afterwards (not necessarily what you see in this photo of a vegan Christmas dinner in the past).

Cooking will happen on 5 separate tables around the room, and participants will be encouraged to move around the room, watch, ask questions and assist with chopping and stirring! 

Because the event is being made possible with the support of Todmorden Town Council’s Climate Emergency Committee, all dishes will be cooked using lower energy appliances such as induction hobs, microwaves and air-fryers, and ingredients will be as low carbon as possible. 

This event will feature examples of delicious festive vegan food which could be cooked at a mid-winter meal, and will be the third in a series of demonstrations in Todmorden organised by 3 Valley Vegans. Ferney Lee School was the venue for the second ‘Cheap and Easy Climate Emergency Cookery’ demonstration on Tuesday 1st October, when staff and local people gathered in the hall to watch simultaneous cookery demonstrations, listen to short talks and to share a plate of free food afterwards.

Doors will open for the workshop on Monday 25th November at 7.00 pm, when there will be stalls, music and hot drinks served. The cooking will start at 7.30pm, and the event closes at 9pm.
