Can you contribute to our NHS 70 cookbook?

May 18, 2018

Food lovers, cooks and alchemists are sought for tasty celebration of our organisation.

We live in one of the most culturally diverse regions in the UK with a rich heritage of delicious food history and recipes handed down to generations of food lovers. You are part of this, whether you enjoy a bowl of Birmingham soup (created by industrialist Matthew Boulton in the 18th century to ward off starvation in his workers, and now made famous by Brummie chef Glynn Parnell), or love nothing more than a balti, a brummie bacon cake, jerk chicken, goat curry or Irish potato cakes, we’d love to hear from you.

As part of the #NHS70 celebrations this year, we’re producing a cookbook containing  recipes from our colleagues with roots from across the globe. If you have a delicious family recipe that you would like included in this book, whether it is a starter, main, side dish, dessert or bake please send it  to Vy Tran, Senior Communications Officer, at v.tran@nhs.net. Please include the following:

• Ingredients by quantity
• Step by step instructions
• The number of portions the recipe will make
• How long it will take to make the dish
• A short message (50-100 words) to explain why this recipe is important to you with a photo of yourself, or the family member that shared the recipe with you
• You can also share a photo of the meal cooked and plated up.

The deadline to submit the recipe is 15 June.
