Allô! – Cooking

Finding the energy to cook is not always easy, especially after a busy day at university and with an increasingly tight food budget. Yet, a healthy and balanced diet directly impacts academic performance and quality of life. Cooking in a group can thus be a winning solution for everyone!

The Allô program and the community organization Les Cuisines collectives du Grand Plateau (CCGP) invite you to join a small group to cook! This way, you can save time, save money, learn new recipes, and create connections with other students.

What is a collective cooking group? 

A collective cooking group consists of 4 to 8 people who meet once a month to cook together several recipes. They also divide the cooked portions and take them home.

  • Participants collectively decide on the recipes to be prepared.
  • Food purchases are made by group members.
  • The cost of the recipes is then divided among all members.

When:  One Saturday a month from 10 am to 3 pm.  

Participation in a collective cooking group requires a commitment. You cannot miss several cooking meetings as it would affect your group.

Where? In the semi-professional kitchens of the CCGP, located 10-15 minutes from the Berri-UQAM metro station.
