LET’S COOK… at Made in Hackney
THE SCHOOL
Made in Hackney might appear as your typical vegan cookery school; however, their story, ethos and the community they have built makes them extraordinary. With a strong belief that everyone should have access to healthy and affordable food that is good for one’s self and the planet, Made In Hackney founder Sarah Bentley has innovated an ecocommunity which is revolutionary (and liberating) for many.
As a non-profit organisation located in East London, Made in Hackney has taken on a fundamental role in teaching the local community (and beyond) ethical, environmental and sustainable ways to live in a population that is rapidly evolving. Incredibly, on top of that powerful concept, the company are also driven to educate individuals on how to tackle chronic ill health amongst those most vulnerable or disadvantaged in society by bringing people together and allowing them to support each other as a team with one vital ingredient — plant-based food.
