Cooking Volunteer

FoodCycle

Cooking volunteers help turn surplus food into a delicious, three course meal. It's a fun and inventive challenge, ready, steady, cook style! You don't need any previous kitchen experience, just a willingness to get stuck in.

Detailed Description

As a cooking volunteer, you’ll roll your sleeves up, sport a fetching hairnet and join the kitchen team to produce a three-course vegetarian meal using surplus food. You’ll be peeling, chopping, frying, mixing, boiling, serving and washing up. But most of all, you’ll have a lot of fun. You don’t need to have any previous cooking experience; you just need to get stuck in!

Managing People

Why these skills are required

You don’t need any specific experience; we just want you to be enthusiastic about supporting your local community. We ask that you complete all the required training and follow all policies and procedures.

What is in it for you

You’ll learn some great skills, like how to cater for large numbers and make nutritionally balanced meals, and because you won’t know what your ingredients are before each session, you’ll have a chance to get creative when coming up with every meal.

Time Commitment

There is no minimum time commitment for cooking volunteers. You can volunteer as much or as little as you like!
