COMMUNAL KITCHEN

The kitchen is the heart of Relish. A communal space for sharing, comfort and connection.

HOW TO ENJOY IT

The idea of the communal kitchen is that everyone gets to contribute, prepare and share healthy and delicious food together. Participants are encouraged to bring, cook and share extra food and dishes to feed everyone and in doing so, create an atmosphere of abundance, connection and friendliness.

The large area is a space for everyone to gather. It will run organically with no set times or slots to cook. A healthy communal spirit will guarantee a pleasant experience. The kitchen will have multiple gas cooking stations, sinks with hot water for dish washing, plenty of surface for preparation, shelving, storage for personal and communal food and a big chiller trailer. There will be a gas oven available as well as a gas heater to provide hot water. A tea and coffee station with a professional machine will be set up.

The kitchen will be a MEAT FREE ZONE for health reasons. A BBQ will be set up outside to prepare meat.

A team of volunteers will be looking after the space to ensure things are organised, running smoothly and kept tidy. All participants are expected to take care of their own dishes, rubbish and the cleanliness of the kitchen. 

Compost bins for organic waste will be provided, recyclables and non-recyclable waste will have to be taken off-site at the end of the event. 

Participants MUST BRING their own plates, cups and utensils and are encouraged to bring additional to be used by the community. Please bring extra chopping boards, pots, pans, knives and any other kitchen utensils, if you have got spare ones.

What to bring:

• Must haves (Your own plates, cups, glasses, cutlery, kitchen utensils, etc.)

• Essential ingredients  (Pasta, rice, sauces, vegetables, fruit, coffee, tea, milk and sugar. etc.)

• One pot dishes (Curries, rice and pasta dishes, etc.)

• Salads (Green and leafy, cous cous, tabbouleh, etc.)

• Desserts and sweet treats (Pastries, cakes and cookies, etc.)
