Cook 5 with CRuNCH
Revolutionising the health of the next generation, Cook 5 with CRuNCH is a ground-breaking (and fun!) initiative born out of many years of experience delivering healthy eating and cookery programmes in schools and local communities across the UK.
Cook 5 with CRuNCH enables and inspires young people to cook 5 simple, nourishing recipes before they leave home as well as gain a basic understanding of how to eat for better physical and mental wellbeing.
Young people not only start out on a cooking journey that will last a lifetime, they learn to connect with food so they can make healthier choices, they grow in self-confidence and they develop leadership skills.
All fantastic skills to set them up for life…
This initiative is primarily designed for 11-14 year olds (KS3), but can be delivered to older and younger age groups.

COOK 5 with CRuNCH in the South West!
We aim to start with Bristol and then roll-out into the rest of the UK, starting with the South West of England.
Can you help us make Bristol the first #Cook5 City?
We’ve successfully piloted #Cook5 in Merchant’s Academy, a school in Withywood, Bristol, and are ready to roll out to more schools, guides, scouts and community hubs.
The Power of 5!

There’s real power in the number 5!”
