Toques en Stock, France

Toques en Stock is a French association that aims to organise regular cooking workshops to counter food insecurity among vulnerable segments of the population. These cooking workshops offer people access to healthy food and teach them how to cook their own, while minimising food waste by recycling afterwards.

Target groups of the initiative include people (mostly women) who live in temporary emergency accommodation in the broader Paris region (i.e., refugees, people with very low or no income, survivors of trafficking or exploitation, etc.). This means that the recipes that are used are adapted to their limited circumstances in terms of available equipment.
