GROW COOK SHARE
Grow Cook Share 2000 - 2015 was a children's food project that promoted health and well-being through the practical experience of growing, preparing and sharing food.
Each project culminated in a community feast that provided a unique opportunity to celebrate the understanding learnt through the year long project of growing and cooking.
THE REAL JUNK FOOD PROJECT
The Real Junk Food Project in Brighton is part of the Real Junk Food Project network, created by Adam Smith. It is a national and international movement of cafes, projects and pop-ups with one core objective:
To intercept food waste destined for land fill and use it to feed people who need it, on a ‘pay as you feel’ basis.
Daphne was the chef at the Friday One Church cafe between
2018 - 2020 when, due to coronavirus, it closed.
She then had the pleasure to work once a week with the wonderful chef Karen at The Gardener Cafe and, more recently, from time to time run workshops at the Fitzherbert Community Hub.
The hub is a collaboration between the Parish, The Real Junk Food Project, Brighton Table Tennis Club and the Voices in Exile charity.

THE TRAVELLING FUTURE ROADSHOW
A collaboration between Greencuisine Trust, Transition Town, Ovesco and Moving Sounds
The Travelling Future Roadshow enjoys convivial encounters with diverse people attending festivals in the villages and towns around Lewes
PATINA
Greencuisine Trust collaborated with Patina in the Spring of 2024 - what an amazing experience visiting 16 schools and talking with 400 children.
Patina is a voluntary association of parents, teachers, local businesses and artists, in the Lewes district who came together as they were worried that the arts were being reduced in the national curriculum due to schoolwork load & money pressures.
Patina's main event is the “Moving On” parade which celebrates the transition or “moving on” of local children from primary to secondary school and into adolescence with a parade through the streets of Lewes. It is a very important rite of passage for children in the Lewes area and since it started in 2002 over 9,000 children have taken part.
Each year a new theme is chosen for the Moving On parade and Greencuisine Trust was invited to introduce and talk about this year’s theme 'Welcome to our table' focusing on local food, nutrition and the joy of good food.
Each of the 16 schools participating were given a fruit or vegetable to interpret with the help of amazing artists as a costume in the parade. The Patina parade through Lewes took place last Friday and the streets were full of strawberry, pea, mushroom, blueberry, apple, carrot & tomato costumes.
