LJMU Cook Together
LJMU Cook Together is an initiative to help you cook a delicious meal and eat well, with recipes that aren't costly.
As part of LJMU's support with the rising cost of living, we'll be hosting free lunches plus giving away food vouchers and recipes, to help you create some tasty nutritious food.
Take a look at the recipes and video tutorials below.
Life at university can be busy and demanding so it’s really important that you take care of your wellbeing. What you eat can have a big impact on how your mind and body works.
With the cost of living crisis, we know lots of our students are feeling under financial pressure. Cooking for yourself can save you so much money and minimise waste as you can easily increase the portions and save leftovers for lunch the next day.
For other ways LJMU is offering support, and for money advice, visit the Cost of Living Hub.
