There were just two GoodGYmers who turned out on a dreary night to support FoodCycle this evening. Although there was areduced team Martin and Gill work tirelessly to help create a sumptuosnhot meal for the guests. There was a lot of chopping to be done to create the filling for stuffed peppers. And then the tasks changed for Martin, to help creating the stir fry for the main course, while Gill wrote up the menus board and helped set out some of the surplus food ready to go in goody bags for our guests. WE also helped to serve the food as there were only a few people on the hosting team today. Despite waking our socks off, we managed to have a good catch up with the rest of the kitchen team and make sure a newcomer was made to feel welcome.

This evening we served 25 guests plus takeaways at Foodcycle Hightown Baptist church . It was great team work and effort from everyone as always- food collection team, cooking team, hosting team , pot washer , host and helpers/project leaders ❤️ we welcomed newbies in a team too 🍁🍂

It was a chilly evening, but this didn't deter 4 Luton GoodGymers from turning out to help with FoodCycle again.

Gill and Lucie were on the cooking team again, and while Lucie prepared a delicious filling of for the fajitas for the starter with a creamy dip on the side, Gill started on dessert. It's always a challenge when there is very little in the way of fruit and produce to make a dessert, but Gill had put by some chocolate spread a few weeks ago, and soon got thinking about what she could do with 5 packs of filo pastry and some cream cheese spread.

Omar and Neill were hosts with the most, setting up the hall and making sure the guests were welcomed and served their food with a smile.

It's always good to partner with the FoodCycle Family and and tonight was no exception.
