Thanks to everyone who has helped make Cookie become….”More than just a café”

The Hot 100 is a list of Scots who’ve made a sizeable creative splash in 2010. It includes musicians, artists, writers, actors, fashion designers, technological innovators, shop owners, festival directors, record label heads and one mad cyclist.

Cookie..”On Glasgow’s Southside has been shaking up the local eating scene all year with good food, unusual events, a few provocative stunts and huge amounts of energy”

It is a learning curve but we are going to keep going and will revisit some of our ideas from 2010 to make them even better.

We are always looking for ideas and people who would like to help make Cookie a great resource for its community.

if you are interested in helping email us on info@cookiescotland.com

The barter scheme we ran this year was a big success. It saw us exchanging on a whole variety of produce: from soft fruits to summer salads, edible flowers such as nasturtium and more. We would like to capitalise on this and also structure things a little better for next year.

If you contributed this year and would like to continue next year please get in touch. Lets hear your thoughts on what is the best way to go about bartering for goods.

We are really interested in using the food you grow and any surplice you may have. We would also like to hear from people who would be prepared to grow for us. That is people who would be prepared to grow certain items for us specifically and dedicate a little of their production to become alternative suppliers for Cookie?

Promote urban agriculture. http://www.sustainweb.org/cityharvest/

In addition to these thoughts, we have an allotment which we are looking for partners to help out with. So anyone who is interested in getting growing and is of a communal spirit drop us a line.

The season is now really here. The first crops are nearly ready. Strawberries flowering everywhere. Rhubarb needs cut back, first potatoes. Herbs flourishing and we want to barter for your over production

We want to remind everyone of our interest in bartering for their produce to bring a little bit of Havana to Glasgow.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrkeIexh7W0

Please contact us via by email or let the restaurant know what you have.
