We provide a range of different services to meet the needs of our service users. We are constantly adapting our services to meet those needs. Please take a moment to review what we do best – and do get in touch!
What we do
Improving the
health and
wellbeing of
disadvantaged
communities
Community Cooking Together classes
Community Cooking Together classes are at the heart of what we do. We firmly believe that everyone should have access to healthy eating knowledge, and nothing beats practical experience in an enjoyable environment. Our sessions are free and open to everyone.
“This class gives me a purpose to leave my flat. It’s the only time I eat properly in a week” – Gary
Educational courses and workshops
In response to requests from Enfield schools back in 2014, we created our signature H.E.L.P and Enterprise courses. These courses inspire children to reach their potential. We work on increasing their confidence and how they can make steps to improve their health and wellbeing. In 2018 we added our Waste warrior programme and in 2020 our sustainability programme. We’ve been adapting and updating them ever since.
“I jumped at the chance to get Waste Warrior workshop in my school as its so relevant to what the children are concerned about at the moment. ” – Sam Williams Head Teacher Eversley Primary School Enfield
Accredited programmes
For those students who want a recognition of achievement we offer our bespoke AQA programmes. We work with the cohort of participants to design a course that provides the skill set they desire covering a range of recipes, cuisines and techniques.
“This course is just perfect to give the kids the confidence to cook for themselves” – Desta Henry-Shaw, Haringey Virtual Services
SEN
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn how to feed themselves healthy food. We work with children and adults with learning difficulties, physical disabilities and mental health issues as well as the neuro-diverse. In Enfield, we are proud to partner with West Lea School, Community Link, One-to-One and Filey Care, and in Barnet, Community Focus and B.A.C.E.
“Our service users love your classes – they can do so much more independently now.” Tracey – Community Link support worker
Recipe Meal Kits
When the pandemic hit, we had to adapt the way we worked. Our Recipe Meal Kits were born! They are so well received that we’ve been delivering them ever since!
“A huge thank you for the delivery today of 90 recipe kits for our families; they are such good quality and so nutritious. We serve a largely very deprived context and every little bit of help for our families counts towards well fed children ready to learn. I can’t express how grateful we are as school on their behalf. Thank you so much! – Jules Belton – Head Teacher – St Mary and St Pancras CE Primary School NW1 1QP
Recipe Demo’s
Many people find cooking from scratch daunting and lack the confidence to experiment. Our demo’s show how easy it can be to cook up something healthy and tasty.
“I don’t like sweet potatoes or mango, but these sweet potato fritters and mango salsa are just delicious!” – Tina
Catering
We love to pass on our love of food and share our delicious recipes. We cater for corporate and charity events as well as children’s parties.
“Thank you Bread n Butter for catering for 50 people at our EH strategy event, the food was amazing with a rage of selection and amazing presentation. All attendees complimented the spread and left with a their stomachs full and a smile on their faces 😊.” Kemi Ojuri – Barnet Council

Food bank support
We’ve been supporting St Peter’s Church food bank in Edmonton since 2020. Every week we share our surplus food collection from The Felix Project with St Peter’s Church, Edmonton. We help to support over 200 people a week.
Last year we were proud to meet the Arch Bishop of Canterbury and discuss the work that we do to support the local community
Monica keeps the food bank in ship shape each week and ensures there is always a good supply to hand out each week.
“The weekly support Bread n Butter provide for our food bank literally is a Godsend!” – Tria – Vicar, St Peter’s Church
Teacher Training
Got an inset day coming up? We provide workshops to help teachers know how best to run a food preparation session in the classroom.
“I would never have thought to teach these type of recipes with the children – they’ll love it – we can start tomorrow” – West Lea school teacher
