Jo Colman, Summerdown: healthy soil, healthy business
Posted on 3 February 2023
Looking out across a field of buckwheat, planted to provide shelter and food for wild birds, Jo Colman sums up his challenge as “having to make decisions for generations to come.” Jo himself is the third generation of his family to farm Summerdown Farm in Hampshire.

Meatballs in a Rustic Tomato Sauce
Posted on 9 January 2023
COOK meals are perfect for when you fancy a night off cooking … something even the most passionate home cook needs now and again. But how do our prices compare with making it yourself?
We followed our recipe for two for Meatballs in a Rustic Tomato Sauce at home and found it was more expensive getting the ingredients from the supermarket. We based this on checking Sainsbury’s online ingredient prices in October 22 for a two portion recipe. We didn't include ingredients we had in the fridge or kitchen cupboard (including any alcohol) and used the smallest available amounts of what we needed.

RAW Talent Behind Bars
Posted on 2 December 2022
There are 25 of us squeezed into a small classroom in the education block of Rochester Prison in Kent. Broad smiles are on all our faces, we’re clapping and whooping. A few tears are being shed. We’re celebrating the finale of COOK’s first ever RAW Talent training programme held inside a prison. For some of the guys in the room, this might just be a life-changing moment.

You’ve probably seen the headlines about the worst avian flu outbreak ever and its impact on Christmas turkeys, in particular.
