Greedy Gordons
New charity
cooking project a recipe for success
Support for families is on the menu as a new culinary charity collaboration launches in Northamptonshire. A Taste of Home is the new pioneering project aimed at
helping families in need to cook nutritious meals for their households, helping to boost both physical and mental health. T e initiative is being organised by the charity Home-Start Kettering Area with the support of Richard Gordon and the team at Greedy Gordons. The project aims to help parents learn to make
delicious, nutritious, hearty, healthy, home-cooked dishes with selected families being gifted a slow cooker, produce and inspiration from recipes collated in the cookbook A Taste of Home. Hearing how Home-Start wanted to help local families
in the county provided food for thought for Richard and business partner Sonya Harvey. T eir business, Greedy Gordons, has pledged to support the initiative including sourcing and donating essential equipment, kitchen utensils and ingredients for families, enabling them to recreate some of the 65 recipes featured in the cookbook.
The long-established charity relies on donations,
support and volunteers to help parents and children in its local communities who have all been professionally referred to the organisation for support. Nikki Farrar-Hayton, Manager at Home-Start Kettering,
said: “T e Taste of Home project will be life changing for families and what Richard and the team at Greedy Gordons are doing is brilliant. T ere’s a whole generation of young people who don’t know how to cook, who don’t have the confi dence or money to do so. We hope to improve people’s health but also their confi dence to be able to cook for themselves. “This project will change their lives, their health,
mental health and make them feel they are doing what they should be doing for their families, and it’ll be great for their self-esteem.” T e cookbooks and slow cookers have been provided to
Home-Start charity teams across the UK with the support of Cadent. However, rather than leaving families fending for
themselves when getting to grips with replicating recipes, the Home-Start Kettering Area team wanted to accelerate the community rollout with the support of Greedy Gordons, who will also help to provide essential ingredients for designated dishes.
