The Cynon Valley 
A Culinary Community Cookbook

The Cynon Valley - A Culinary Community

This book is the product of people in the Cynon Valley working together. The recipe book was part of a consortium project funded by the SPF (Shared Prosperity Fund), U.K Levelling up Fund.

 

Partners are: Bryncynon Community Revival Strategy, Penderyn Community Centre, Glyncoch Community Centre, National Eistedfodd and Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB.

 

On a wider environmental front, we thought here would be a good place to mention how the community is contributing to organic projects and supporting self sustainable in the community.

 

Local Sourcing: Working with local farmers and producers to source fresh, organic ingredients. By supporting local agriculture, not only reduces carbon emissions associated with transportation but also strengthens the local economy.

 

Community Gardens: Volunteering time and expertise to help establish or maintain community gardens. These spaces provide opportunities for people to grow their own organic produce, fostering a sense of connection to the land and promoting healthy eating habits.

 

Educational Workshops: Organising workshops and cooking demonstrations focused on working towards using low to zero packaged ingredients. These sessions teach community members how to prepare nutritious meals using whole, unprocessed foods, empowering them to make healthier choices.

 

Zero-Waste Initiatives: Advocate for and implement zero-waste initiatives within the community. This includes promoting reusable shopping bags, encouraging composting, and supporting bulk food stores that allow service users to bring their own containers.

 

Collaboration: Collaborate with local businesses, schools, and community organisations and RCT sustainable food partnership to promote sustainable practices. Whether it's hosting a farm-to-table dinner or organising a neighbourhood clean-up, working together strengthens community bonds and amplifies the impact of their efforts.
