Vancouver's Community Kitchen Project is an educational resource for those interested in starting their own community kitchens. It's a great way for people to save money.


Community kitchens are wonderful for learning new cooking methods, recipes and socializing. People from all walks of life participate in community kitchens but it's a great way to learn how to cook on a fixed budget.

People pool their money together to purchase groceries after they plan their menus. Some meet weekly and others monthly. It's a good way for people to help both themselves and their community.

Vancouver Community Kitchen Project has many educational opportunities for people who are interested in community kitchens. Their mission is to build community around food and get people to cook together.

Their project offers training programs, free literature and cooking resources. Their site is packed with information on how to start a community kitchen, how to find a site, free cookbooks, checklists, canning workshops, food safe courses,downloads and more.
