A trio of GoodGymers made up half the kitchen team at FoodCycle tonight and although we had very little food to work with there was an awful lot of fun and laughter. Gill came in extra early to make pastry, give it time to rest then rolled it out to line 4 large flan dishes ready to make quiches (or egg flans). Filled with softened onion, and mixed peppers, cheese and and egg mixture, the quiches were soon baking in the over. Lucy took charge of making a carrot soup for starter helped by Dani and they later went on to make a de-constructed trifle (aka, fruit, custard and cake) while Gill prepared some risotto to go with the quiche. We had around 36 guests who thoroughy enjoyed the meal, and we really felt that we made a flantastic contribution to the evening.

It was one of our hottest evenings at FoodCycle but that didn't put off our trio of GoodGymers from volunteering at this regular task. Gill had got started on a rustle up pudding knowing that there were lots of eggs to use up. She came up with an idea for a fruit flan - orange sponge topped with crème pâtisiere and fresh fruit. Meanwhile Martin was on the main course supporting the team to create a delicious looking plate of roasted potatoes, slaw and veg. Fawaz was a hands on host getting the hall set up, serving the guests and making sure people had plenty of squash to stay hydrated. Guest numbers were down but we think that with the weather being so hit people were just not wanting to be out in the heat.

Tonight 6 Goodgymers used their talents to cook up a great meal for the Food cycle guests. We served 27 guests plus take aways. Gill did the Food collection, Dani and Lucie were cooks extraordinaire and Abdulrahman,Fawaz and Neill served the guests with smiles and generosity. Starter: Carrot and parsnip soup Main : Roast vegetables with cauliflower cheese in an onion gravy Dessert: Cake and custard

We had 4 Goodgymers on the team at FoodCycle last night, and once again they all worked hard to ensure there was a lovely meal provided to the guests and volunteers. Gill was in the kitchen leading the cooking team as well as cooking a delicious Mussaman curry and rice as well as making flap jacks to accompany a fruit salad. Neill, Fawaz and Abdulrahman were hosting, and made sure the guests were welcomed and served with a smile. At the end of the evening Abdulrahman and Gill loaded up the car with empty crates to be returned to Sainsburys, and there was enough food for all volunteers who fancied it to have a meal to eat in or take home. There is always a fun atmosphere between all the GoodGym and FoodCycle volunteers and we all had an enjoyable evening.

Three GoodGym volunteers provided much needed assistance at FoodCycle. Gill was on food collection again and manages to get some tasty treats and staple ingredients from Sainsbury's. Fawaz and Abdulrahman did a fine job of setting up the hall, serving the guests, greeting them with a friendly face, and clearing up after. In all 40 meals were serves and there were lots of smiling fa es and full bellies.
