Healthy Cities - Posh Nosh for Not Much Dosh! recipe bookEat your heart out Nigella!
Watch out Jamie - our creative cooks are challenging your right to hold the healthy eating crown! Welcome to our very own healthy eating recipe page - packed with budget-priced, balanced, three-course recipes for a family of four - all for under £10. The recipes have all been created by a group of unemployed people from the Hetton area who worked together to produce a special recipe book in the Posh Nosh For Not Much Dosh! through our special workshops - thanks to funding from Sunderland City Council's Healthy Cities. Remember the wonderful smells of home cooking? The amazing, nutritious meals mum and grannie used to serve up each day - despite the family having very little money. EBC worked with our creative cooks to come up with nutritious, well balanced three course measl for four people. Our group also developed new computer skills as they trawled the internet for recipes from their childhood, visited healthy eating websites and costed out their creations through on-line supermarket sources. They then created their individual pages for their recipe book.... which you can download from this page. Prices for ingredients were correct at time of publishing (August 2010). All recipes serve four.

Sunderland is amongst a unique group of just over 1,500 cities worldwide which has earned Healthy City status for its commitment to improving all aspects of the daily lives of its citizens through the range of activities and services its offers. The status is awarded by the World Health organisation. BACK TO OUR MAIN HEALTHY CITIES PAGE BACK TO OUR MAIN ADULT LEARNING PAGE What does it mean to Sunderland? The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines a healthy city as one that is continually creating and improving the physical and social environments and expanding the community resources that enable people to support each other, lead a healthy and active daily life and develop to their maximum potential. A healthy city is one which gives health priority and aims to improve it. It has a commitment to improving health and a structure for doing this.
This promotes policy and planning with an emphasis on health inequalities and urban poverty, the needs of vulnerable groups, participatory governance and the social, economic and environmental determinants of health. It also strives to include health considerations in economic, regeneration and urban development efforts. What Makes a Healthy City?
