The Arches is starting a new recipe box service for residents in the Rhayader area.

From this week you can order a box full of ingredients to make two main meals and a pud. There is a choice of four boxes every week from Classic, World, Family and Light Meals selections.

Project manager Pippa Boss: “The idea of the boxes is to make it easier for anyone to cook tasty and nutritious meals - and have fun experimenting! All the recipes have been tried and tested by our famous Cooking Club so we know they are delicious. Your box contains the recipes and full instructions– you just need to add chilled foods and dairy. The week’s menu is available on our Foodbank Facebook page or pick up a menu at The Arches. There is no commitment to have boxes every week - just when you want one.”

The promo boxes are £6 each and a contribution from this goes toward Rhayader Foodbank. To order, phone 01597 810921 from Monday to Wednesday, for Thursday collection. This is part of a Recipes for Health project supported by the PAVO Social Forum Development Fund.
