What a fantastic cookalong alhamdulilah! ✨🍲 🧑🏿🍳👨🏽🍳
What a fantastic cookalong alhamdulilah! Children and grown ups cooked delicious one pot biryani together, learned new skills or shared their skills and had a really special experience
The Cookalong project has been one of our most anticipated projects, bringing families together to cook, build skills, connect and eat something homemade . Seeing children and adults learning side by side is exactly why this project matters.
Feedback we received :
“I loved coming and meeting others, it was so fun. Thank you!”
“We had a lovely time and getting to take home delicious biryani was an added bonus.”
“I avoid biryani, but now I know how to make it in a way that won’t take forever.”
“I learned something new and now will cook this at home”
“Simple ingredients made so tasty masha Allah”
“Everyone makes it differently.”
“I havent cooked with my children before.”
“I never peeled an onion before!” (CYP)
“The ginger almost went in my eyes!” (CYP)
Thank you to Newport City Council for funding this project, M&M Grocery for your support with the fresh ingredients, the dedicated Saturday Kids Club Team with team members from other projects without whom this would not have been smooth sailing and of course the families who came to our first cookalong and got stuck in with the cooking… and cleaning!!

That’s why we’re working to create opportunities that truly…
