Crunchy Cook meal kit bags are available to order from the Crunchy Carrot. Each bag contains everything you need to make a delicious, healthy meal, weighed out ready for you - saving you time and cutting food waste because you buy exactly what you need.

It also comes with a recipe card, and a link to a video showing you how to make the dish in simple steps.

How to order a bag

1. Place an order by email (shop@communitycarrot.scot), phone (01368 860 000), or at the shop and arrange a time to collect your bag once it’s been put together.

2. Alternatively you can choose to donate the price of a bag straight to our community :-)

Working with community partners to improve cooking skills

Here’s the twist: when you buy a bag for yourself, you can choose to pay-it-forward at the same time, or you can simply donate any amount towards community Crunchy Cook bags. There’s no pressure to do so, but if you would like and are able to you can donate any amount from £1. This will go towards paying for community Crunchy Cook bags: we will pass vouchers for free bags to our community partners including The Ridge, Dunbar FoodShare and Home-Start East Lothian.

If you wish to donate, just specify how much you want to add in your order email, phone call or when popping into the shop.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit we couldn’t run face-to-face cooking classes any more. Crunchy Cook bags were our way of working to support people in building their kitchen confidence, expand the range of meals they can rustle up, and encounter some tasty new dishes.
