We are a collective of friends who desire to live and work more harmoniously with the land and community, choosing to spend our time working doing what we love. Food has a massive cultural and social meaning to many of us, and has been our medium of expression for the past 8 years. To cook and serve food that has heart, nourishes the body and the earth, and is in reciprocal relationship giving back to the whole is how we have built our business.

In 2014 we started as a food waste kitchen in Redmond Community Centre, Hackney, London, cooking with the local community on Woodberry Down Estate, with fresh fruit and veg that was donated from local shops. Every week, we learned about people’s ailments and taste buds: cooking cultural foods from back home, adapting recipes to what had been donated, and tailoring it to a nutritious, plant-based and mostly gluten free menu.

We have gone on to create an ethical business that spread over the country at various events, whether cooking at a fundraiser using surplus foods that don’t end up in land fill, or tailoring menus with organic produce at an unconventional wedding, or festival, we support local growers and makers and always choose the less plastic, air-mile way. We are remembering the more wild and ancient paths, foraging, fermenting, cooking with ritual, with detail, with simplicity, with beauty. With respect. We encompass the Permaculture principles of People Care, Fair Share and Earth Care.

We empower each other to look deeper at our choices, our habits, how we live and work, to understand the stories of our current era. We explore ‘time as art’, a co-creative healing process that gives back to the whole somehow.

We have recently relocated to the wild lands of Dartmoor in the UK and are taking a different direction. We will be launching a creative product branch of RMR soon, watch this space! We are also applying for an Awards For All grant working with community groups, and the Arts Council for projects.

Join us on a journey of cookery, storytelling, music, art, nature connection and friendship in these changing times… giving thanks to all the people that have worked with us along the way, bringing their flavour and bigger vision input, and to all the incredible volunteers who help make it happen!
