We have made the decision to stop interacting on X.  We feel X is no longer the supportive and informative community it was, despite many of us trying to maintain this. Edinburgh Community Food will continue to post via Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn @EdinComFood and regularly update our website: edinburghcommunityfood.org.u… We hope to see you there. Thank you.

The @Food_Foundation latest #FoodInsecurity Tracker shows that 7.2 million adults experienced food insecurity in June 2024: 🏠 Households with more children are more likely to be food insecure. 🍝 food must be made more #affordable 🧒🏻End the 2-child benefit cap

Stages of delicious food: 1. Chop up food 👩🏻‍🍳 2. Taste food 😋 3. Thumbs up! 👍🏻 It is important that children are exposed to different foods and given the opportunity to chop, explore, taste and play with food. These exposures can influence a lifelong #positive relationship with food and cooking.

Please share 🍓 Applications for free: 😋 school meals,🥛 Milk, 🧥 School clothing are open for the 2024/25 school year. Applications must be in by 31st July 2024. Apply here: edinburgh.gov.uk/food-clothi…

We love broccoli in soups, stir fries, and pasta dishes. Our broccoli stem pesto is delicious for using up the stem of a broccoli. Broccoli is even lovely grated into coleslaw and salads. What's the most inventive way we could use up broccoli? 🥦🥦 #recipeideas @LFHW_UK
