Recipe for life

Our Recipe for Life project provides families with advice and support on healthy eating and nutrition on an affordable budget. The support is flexible and volunteers will be able to support you with a wide range of needs including:

  • budgeting and shopping
  • cooking skills
  • weaning and breastfeeding
  • healthy weights for children
  • breastfeeding
  • reducing food waste

You can expect to have one-to-one support at home and the opportunity to join group cooking sessions.

Any family living in Aberdeen with a child under the age of five is eligible to take part in the project. We can provide all of the ingredients and cooking equipment which may be necessary for you to be fully involved.

All of the kids were so excited for (volunteer) to come and get cooking. Now we make better use of leftovers and are getting better at storing things in the fridge. We got help with our electric when we went into the emergency so we could keep cooking with the kids. .
