Cook, share,
make friends
Share a Meal began when we realised we knew lots of people living on their own who don’t eat properly because they can't be bothered to make food for one… so we started cooking.
How to join in
Just cook, share, connect - however it suits you.
Cook a simple, nourishing, tasty dish once a week - or more!
Invite one or more neighbours to share it, or drop off on their doorstep.
Spread the word! Encourage friends and neighbours to do the same.
Time to cook
Here you will find 12 recipes for nourishing, one-pot meals for 4-6 people.
Nutritionist Jane Clarke, founder of the Nourish drinks range, provided the nutritional expertise, with recipes from the Nourish chef, Andreas Wingert.
You’ll also find scrumptious recipes from our celebrity supporters.
“The benefits of healthy eating and social interaction have a very strong evidence base and this wonderful initiative achieves both. The health service – and even our planet – will not survive unless we can restore this ethos of mutual responsibility and community spirit. I hope SHARE A MEAL is taken up far and wide”
— Dr Michael Dixon, NHS Clinical Champion for Social Prescription
