Cookie makes it into the Hot 100

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.

Watch out for the all new Cooking Club on Sunday evenings

Grow for Us

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?

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.
