BD Group has teamed up with the London borough of Barking and Dagenham on an innovative new community-led recipe book.

Come Cook with Us is designed to bring people together to cook low-cost energy meals that are tasty and nourishing, as everyone should have the confidence to cook a wholesome meal from scratch on a budget.

Many of the recipes in the book were created or shared at Come Cook with Us community cooking clubs that have been running in the borough since February 2023. The clubs bring residents together to cook and share food.

On his involvement Dan said: “The recipe book is such a fantastic idea, and I was delighted to be asked to get involved. My recipe was originally one I shared with some of our schools that were growing their own greens. I’m pleased it could be of use to the wider community”.

You can download the online version of the book here

The book also includes a recipe from Daniel Williams, Executive Chef at BD Group.
