Solent FOOD Action Season 2 is our weekly cook along project running for 6 weeks during February and March 2026.
We have 6 easy to follow cook along videos on our YouTube channels featuring staff during which we cook meals chosen by the young people we work with. The videos are targeted at young people, helping them to learn some cooking basics and create their favourite meals in a healthier and more affordable way.
Alongside the videos we are delivering ingredients each week to cook these meals to families who sign up. This is provided completely free for families, and distributed on a first come first served basis, with us targeting households with children and those with young people aged up to 25 with additional needs in the Eastleigh Borough. At the end of March each family will also receive a £60 voucher to purchase food to recreate all of these meals again.
The menu for weekly meals is as follows:
WEEK 1: Cottage Pie
WEEK 2: Sourdough Pizza
WEEK 3: Smash Burgers & Chips
WEEK 4: Chicken Fajitas & Wedges
WEEK 5: Chilli Nachos
WEEK 6: Mac & Cheese
Videos are released every Friday morning. Link to the playlist for videos is below
This project is proudly funded by the Health and Community Service within Eastleigh Borough Council as part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK investing in communities and place, supporting local business, and people and skills.
