This year our partners in Australia, The Good Foundation (TGF), have been piloting a version of Jamie’s Ministry of Food programme in the indigenous communities of Torres Strait Island, Ravenshoe and Mount Garnet.
Our partners at Inn Churches have had a busy summer teaching more than 400 kids aged 7-15 how to cook.
Jamie’s Ministry of Food comes to Brighton, thanks to funding from the People’s Postcode Lottery which has helped to launch the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership’s new community kitchen.
Brighton and Hove Food Partnership launched a month-long crowdfunding campaign on Thursday 1 February 2018 to raise £20,000 for a Community Kitchen where local people can be inspired to cook for health, fun and friendship.
We are always looking for like-minded partners and individuals to launch new centres or programmes. To set up a Ministry of Food programme you will need to secure funding. Please get in touch and we can discuss the various options available.
We believe in empowering people to lead change in their own communities, which is why we provide training and resources to partners who deliver the programme locally. Have a look to see if we have a partner in your area. If you are interested in establishing a new Ministry of Food centre, please get in touch.
Our partners deliver Ministry of Food cooking lessons across the UK and beyond. To sign up, find your nearest centre and contact them directly.
Volunteers play a vital role in the Ministry of Food programme. Most of our partners have volunteering opportunities, so either contact them directly or get in touch with us.
Yes of course! The Ministry of Food Programme has a huge range of recipes to suit many different dietary requirements.
No, the programme was created by Jamie in 2009 – it is coordinated by his team and the lessons are delivered by local partners. The lessons all use Jamie’s recipes, tips and tricks but due to his busy schedule he is unable to deliver the training personally… although he would love to!
