Come join the Liverpool Cookery Revolution!

IT'S time to unplug those microwaves and pick up those wooden spoons comrades, yes, the cookery revolution is coming to Liverpool!

The Can Cook Studio, based in the Matchworks in Speke is bringing the kitchen to you with their brand new Pop-Up Kitchen at 15 Bold Street, Liverpool.

Thanks to support from Shops Upfront and developer Merepark, the Pop-Up Kitchen will be in the place of the old Animal shop at 15 Bold Street, Liverpool, and will be going off with a bang at their opening on 22 July 2010, from 12 noon. All comrades are welcome!  Look out for Can Cook’s ‘Gourmand Extremists’ who will be hitting the city to whisk up support!

Robbie Davison, Director of Can Cook, and one of Britain’s leading social business entrepreneurs said:- “We are really excited about inviting the public to come and explore our brand new Pop-Up Kitchen on Bold Street and show them what Can Cook does. As well as sampling our cookery courses, the Pop-Up Kitchen is a great place for people to get excited about food again. We want the Kitchen to kick off Liverpool’s Cookery Revolution and get everyone’s taste buds going!”

Can Cook Studio is a 20 place professional cookery school, based in the Matchworks in Speke, specialising in evening and weekend courses in a variety of cuisines including Thai, Chinese, Italian and Indian.

The Can Cook Studio will be kicking off Liverpool’s cookery revolution with a summer stay in the heart of the City centre where they will be instilling a little cooking inspiration in passers by. The space has been obtained for a period of six weeks in partnership with Liverpool City Council’s Shops Upfront initiative and Mere Park Property Development and facilitated by commercial property advisors CBRE.

Shop’s Upfront was established by Liverpool City Council to enable artists and entrepreneurs to access empty high street retail units and transform them with creative displays.

Councillor Wendy Simon, Cabinet Member for Culture and Tourism, said:- “Shops Upfront is brilliant idea as it allows our creative sector to help businesses ride through the recession and vice versa, while adding a vibrant dash of colour to the high street – so it’s a win-win-win for everyone! There’s some fantastic ideas in the Shops Upfront pipeline and I’m delighted we’re supporting the Can Cook revolution – a true home grown success story and anything that promotes healthy eating in such a fun and accessible way is a real boost to Liverpool’s Year of Health and Wellbeing."

Neal Hunter from Merepark, the owner of 15 Bold Street and the developer behind the planned Central Village scheme, said:- “With Central Village we are creating a sustainable, vibrant community around Bold Street and Central Station. Initiatives like the Pop-Up Kitchen will make a great contribution to the atmosphere of the area and we are delighted to be able to offer our support.”

Upon opening, the Pop-Up Kitchen will house ten state-of-the-art cookery stations and a chef’s demonstration area, kitted out with equipment donations from Glen Dimplex Home Appliances, where members of the public are welcome to come in and try their hand at making the perfect omelette to compete for a special prize! The Omelette Challenge leader board will display the best of the best before inviting the finalists for a Pop-Up Kitchen Cook Off, where one lucky winner will take home a voucher for two places on a Can Cook Studio A-Z Weekend course worth over £200!

The Pop-Up Kitchen will feature daily demonstrations from Can Cook’s resident chefs, Tony, Richie and Alex, as well as a taste of what you can expect from the evening and weekend cookery courses at the Studio.

Can Cook’s Pop-Up Kitchen will open its doors to the public on Thursday, 22 July 2010, at 12 noon and will be open seven days a week.

A FORMULA FOR SUCCESS

FORMULA 1 chef Norman Musa was in Formby on Thursday, 15 July 2010 to demonstrate his cooking skills and to promote his new book. The venue, the Formby Pool is a long way off from the sort of place he is accustomed to cooking in, but that did not put this top chef off. He told guests all about his work with the Lotus F1 Team, as their official chef and also how he cooked for the royal family. This fantastic event was organised by Tony Higginson from Prichard’s Bookshop, Formby and is just one of many events the shop has cooked up over the last few years. Norman Musa’s book, ‘Malaysian Cookery' is a formula for cookery success and is available now from Pritchard’s Bookshop on Brows Lane, Formby. For more information go to:- pritchards-formby.co.uk.
