Experience a movable feast where food is the catalyst for change & cooking a three-course dinner can make all the difference.

The ultimate experience at the grassroots level of transformation, Cook up brings us back to the basics – to how it all started. When Simon Boyle started helping people he did it by using food as a catalyst for change. The kitchen became a safe space, the food turned into a language of care, cooking stirred up a conversation – this was the original concept that saw him start this foundation.


Now you get the chance to experience how this happens – the power of gathering together around a table, the thrill of creating something for others, the sheer delight in sharing a good plate of food while connecting with other human beings. 



We’ll gather people and ingredients and create the recipe for community, working together to cook a three-course dinner (including homemade bread!). It’s a movable feast with bubbling conversation, simmering pots and steaming ideas – just the way it should be.
