Pick, Cook & Eat Project in Lamancha, Oct'09You Can Cook in partnership with Lamancha Hub and Whitmuir Organic Farm ran a series of successful classes for the community in Lamancha. The project was well supported by MP David Mundell and Peebles Councillor Catriona Bhatia. Participants had to pick fresh produce from the farm, where local farmer Pete Ritchie alongwith his staff gave valuable information about organic farming and its health benefit for us all. After having picked the fresh produce, participants then had to wash and help in the preparation of a healthy meal which they then sat down to eat and socialise with the group. The cookery classes were conducted by a team of community cooks from our organisation.

The next stage is to actually help them to do it. We've done this with exercise classes so we thought why not try a more hands-on approach with diet" said Dr. Iain Todd, Consultant, Cardiac Rehabilitation Lothian, Cunningham Unit, Astley Ainslie Hospital.
