Formed in November 2024 after the success of the Food and Cookery Group 1 (now k/a Aprons and Appetites) to allow other members to join.

Food and Cookery is independent, but will coordinate with Aprons and Appetites over themes, quizzes, and other arrangements.

Like Aprons and Appetites, activities will include:-

Sharing Recipes; Attending Cookery Courses; Eating out together; Fine Dining experiences; Group Cooking in Members’ Homes; Visits to Food Shows & Producers.

Update! The group name has been changed to just Food & Cookery as Group 1 is now known as Aprons & Appetites
