Ekota Café recently welcomed Redbridge Council and local residents for a fantastic free cooking class, bringing people together to learn new skills, share knowledge and explore practical ways to reduce food waste.
The event provided a welcoming space for residents to get hands on in the kitchen, discover new cooking ideas and learn how to make the most of everyday ingredients. It was also a great opportunity to connect with others in the community and share experiences around food, cooking and sustainability.
Alongside the cooking session, attendees learned more about the new food waste bins being introduced across Redbridge and Barking & Dagenham. The discussion highlighted the importance of reducing household food waste, understanding how food waste can be recycled and recognising how small changes in our daily routines can make a positive difference to the environment.
At Ekota, we believe community spaces play an important role in bringing people together, creating opportunities to learn and sharing valuable skills. Events like this demonstrate how local activities can support residents, encourage positive change and strengthen community connections.
