Groups, individuals seeking hands-on food preservation skills, and organisations looking for corporate experiences will find a welcoming space at Coexist Community Kitchen CIC. This social enterprise operates from Easton in Bristol, using food education as a vehicle to support those experiencing social marginalisation whilst running engaging public cookery classes.
The kitchen offers practical workshops that focus on traditional food preservation techniques alongside broader cooking skills. Classes accommodate all experience levels and include online options for remote learning. Corporate groups can arrange bespoke sessions, whilst the venue is available for private hire, making it suitable for team-building events or special celebrations.
The pickling and fermenting workshop exemplifies their hands-on approach to food education. Over three hours, participants explore the history and fundamental differences between these ancient preservation methods before following recipes to create their own fermented and pickled samples. The session concludes with a themed feast where every course incorporates preserved elements, demonstrating the practical applications of the techniques learned. At £55, participants leave with both knowledge and homemade preserves to continue their practice.
Beyond preservation techniques, the kitchen runs various cooking classes that reflect their community-focused ethos. Their programming extends into outreach work with drug and alcohol services, mental health organisations, and refugee groups, alongside a weekly community meals service that demonstrates their commitment to food access and social inclusion.
The combination of practical skills training, inclusive pricing, and flexible formats makes this kitchen particularly suited to those who value learning within a socially conscious environment.
