Our first ever virtual community meal – cook along with us at home!
Tune in on Thursday 27 August at 7pm for Stories & Scran, an event with a three course meal catered by Scran Academy. If you'd like to cook along with us at home, scroll down to find the recipes below.
It's not long now until our Stories & Scran event, an evening of food and entertainment, hosted by our Citizen Writers in Residence Eleanor Thom and Leyla Josephine. With live readings, audio recordings and short films created by Citizen participants, the event will showcase the insightful work of local people from North Edinburgh and Musselburgh.
Our Community partners Scran Academy will be cooking and delivering sixty free meals to households across Edinburgh and Musselburgh.
We've had a lot of requests from people who want to recreate the menu devised by Scran Academy at home, from as far away as Switzerland and the USA! So we've shared the recipe cards, for meat and vegetarian options, below. The recipes for the starter and main serve 4 people.
