And that is what Cook for Good offers, with this book and every day."� Nigella Lawson�"Cook for Good is a brilliant initiative, using food and cooking to reduce food poverty and social isolation."� Gordon Brown, former Prime Minister----From the back coverWhen a Cook for Good team member shared a flask of homemade soup with a volunteer at their community Pantry in London's King's Cross, it was the start of something special. Before long, the team had established a weekly soup cafe and fuelled an obsession with soup that spread across the whole community.�Soup for Good� shares our community's favourite recipes and tells the stories of some of its much-loved characters. With a foreword by Nigella, this beautifully illustrated book includes soups donated by our food-loving supporters, including former Prime Minster, Gordon Brown, Ed Balls, Karan Gokani, and Nigella herself, along with the food businesses who have helped us on our way.�Soup for Good� is a celebration of soup and community, and the perfect expression of the power of cooking to change lives and bring people together.�----About the author�Cook for Good is a social enterprise based on Priory Green housing estate in London's Kings Cross.
