It’s said often, but can’t be said enough, that one of the toughest aspects of life during the covid pandemic is that we can’t gather with our families, friends and communities in the same way. Gathering around the dinner table with family and loved ones is a truly precious thing and many of us are dearly missing these experiences during these strange times. 

The next best thing to experiencing these moments is sharing the stories of them with others, so we want to hear your treasured recipes and dearly held memories relating to food and eating which you have. This could be in the form of:

• recipe(s) of dishes or meals which are special to you

• Stories

• Poetry

• Illustrations or sketches

• Whatever! If you’d like to submit something different to the examples above then just ask!

Since this will be published in January please be sure to share memories and recipes related to food at wintertime e.g. eating a bowl of hearty broth by the fire during a snowy evening or recipes for a cracking nut roast. Please also note all recipes must be vegetarian or vegan.

Email your submissions to xander@woodlandscommunity.org.uk by December 30th.
