This group was formed in November 2021 Covering Food, Cookery & Fine Dining. We hope to include activities such as:- Sharing Recipes; Attending Cookery Courses; Eating out together; Fine Dining experiences; Group Cooking in Members’ Homes; Visits to Food Shows & Producers.

January 2025 - As the Food and Cookery was so popular it was divided into two groups, imaginatively named as Group 1 and Group 2!

January 2026 - to avoid confusion we have been renamed the "Aprons and Appetites" group!

Pictured in June 2024, members of the Food and Cookery Group at Kath's community centre in Blidworth for their 'Picnic' themed meeting. Fortunately, the weather was superb as was the food provided! A most enjoyable opportunity to meet up once again and relax in the sunshine.
