Food Culture

Food is cultural, emotional and political

At Made In Hackney we’re in a constant conversation about what food is best for people and the planet – learning from both local and global communities.

We centre food that is nutritious, delicious, culturally diverse, climate friendly and kind. We’re passionate about putting more plants on people’s plates and therefore all our food is 100% plant-based.

We support equitable food systems that pay all workers a fair salary while being conscious of food access, economic and housing constraints.

The most important ingredient in all our food is joy.

We have a Food Culture document that captures our approach and spirit which is used by all our teachers. We share it here with you now for your knowledge and inspiration.

In collaboration with dieticians and nutritionists we developed our own 100% plant-based Eat Well plate as a learning tool that features diverse ingredients used in different cultural cuisines.
