The Cooking for Men Group was formed at the end of 2000 under the leadership of Alan Gibberd.

Each month (excluding August & December) we meet at one of our houses to enjoy a 3 course meal prepared by the members of the Group and to share the experience gained from our efforts.

The lunch party is usually for 8 members, the host providing the main course, wine and coffee, and 2 other members bring with them the starter and sweet. We have guidelines as to cost and find that one can easily provide the main course for £2 a head and a starter and sweet for 50p a head each. The 2 bottles of wine should be no more than £6 a bottle. Each member pays for his own contribution, which over time, evens out.

We welcome new members and if anyone feels they would be unable to host 8 people, or might be diffident for cooking for others we would like to think we would be flexible and accommodating.

Below is an example of a typical meal with recipes ...
