Last month local supermarket Sainsbury’s held a Cooking Demonstration in Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre and around 20 members of the local community turned up to watch.
Running the Demonstration was Cathy Burns, from the Sainsbury’s ‘Try Team’ she said “Our role is travel around the country and inspire people to cook. We do cooking demonstration, fundraisers, specialty food and agricultural shows. We are currently doing about two sessions per week and obviously we are promoting the Sainsbury’s brand.”
John McCue who is a store trainer at the Craigleith store was along on the night and he said “Its great to get out and meet local people who shop in our store. These sessions raise awareness of how easy it is to cook meals from scratch. We do lots in store for the local community from sponsoring events to doing these demonstrations.”
Elizabeth Graham, project worker at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre said “It was an excellent night and all the local people really enjoyed tasting the food that was made. It was quite amazing how easily some of the dishes were put together.”
