IT'S HERE! Our gorgeous new cookbook, Soup for Good, is now available for pre-order – and if we can get orders for 400 copies in the next 4 weeks through our crowdfunder campaign (https://lnkd.in/eC2cDhpC), we'll raise a massive extra £50,000 for our community programme. Will you help? Here's the lowdown: 🥣 Soup for Good is a book of recipes and stories from the Cook for Good community. 🥣 It's packed with recipes for soups, breads and toppings that you'll come back to again and again, including donated recipes from our supporters Nigella Lawson, Ed Balls, Gordon Brown, Karan Gokani, and Wichet Khongphoon, and from our culinary partners. 🥣 It also features some of our community's much-loved characters (who have some great stories to tell). 🥣 It's beautifully designed and photographed, and would make a fantastic present for clients, employees, friends and family (it's never too early to start thinking about those festive gifts). 🥣 And all the profits from the book will be used to provide more meals for our community, places at free cooking classes or on our back-to-work training programme, and ways for isolated residents to come together. The book will be available from October, but we'll get £125 for every £25 copy that we pre-sell in the next four weeks, up to a total of £50,000. So please check it out and get ordering! You can find out more and bag your copies here: https://lnkd.in/eC2cDhpC. Thank you so much to our culinary partners, who have funded the publication of Soup for Good, allowing us to invest all the profits into our community programme: BaxterStorey, Genuine Dining, Houston & Hawkes and Restaurant Associates UK.   And additional thanks go to these partners for providing extra support for our book: Havas, Peabody, Phoenix Court Works and tp bennett.   #socialimpact #soup #notforprofit

Two and a half weeks ago we held our inaugural Waste Knot People day with the most open-minded, incredible team from BaxterStorey. A seed planted during 2020, with its roots based in building mental resilience and an approach to wellbeing based on our connections with nature, we look to explore how our internal systems survive or struggle in response to external factors (within our control and beyond) and how we can nurture and nourish ourselves with all that nature offers us. Our generational and historic conditioning can teach us so much but also wire us to ways of being we no longer question. Waste Knot People is designed to uncover those textures and layers of seeing and feeling, enabling us to be able to read signs, physical and mental, and to gently challenge that conditioning and what we traditionally pull on as resources, again, physically and mentally. Within the blueprint of what Waste Knot People fundamentally started out to achieve was witnessed, firsthand, throughout the day, in varying contexts, environments and demonstrations but the ethos of pushing the edges of development through imagination and sensation and playing with the intelligences of creation came through abundantly. The ability to access all of our senses; individually and collectively meant we saw, touched, tasted, listened and smelt on a level rarely permitted.We all know that being out in nature opens us to further feeling and thinking so where else would make a better stage to deliver crucial messages? Enormous thanks to those who were the messengers on the day, carrying wisdom we can all use in our everyday lives or to keep in our kitbags for when we need to draw on it; Peter Thompson Mark Nowers Emma Kate Ross Tobie-Anna Durk, the amazingly talented Arthur Potts Dawson who cooked up a storm, the wonderful Gavin, chief forager and firemaker, Piers Zangana for epic press coverage and William Jupp for papping us all through the day. And,of course,to those who had the faith to take the leap as our first cohort with their unending support, enthusiasm and understanding of what we’re trying to achieve; Greg Bramwell Dan Wilson Michael Cunningham Jo Woodward Emmanuelle Pagès Holly Barron Elliot Faulkner Lizzie Hennig RNutr Sam Fisk Stuart Aitken. Thank you. With ideas fireworking left, right and centre since, it is beyond exciting to think of what we can achieve in this space and the ways and means of how we get there. Those who know me will be aware I don’t tend to do business in a very businessy way. I repel spreadsheets and deny the word ‘strategy’ exists. But I respond to a need; a need that can change and positively disrupt the protocol. The belief in that need being understood and appreciated flies on the wings of the turtle doves. All we do at Waste Knot is based on the nurturing of relationships; building foundations from the root-up to embed collaboration, authenticity and a trust in that belief. Wow that was long. Well done if you’re still here. 🌱
