More information

A One Pot event consisted of tasks such as dumpling stuffing, pasta shaping, spoon making, tablecloth printing, recipe collecting, and/or pickling local produce. It always resulted in lunch, alongside 20 strangers, fed from the communal pot. 

Alongside the cooking, library users were invited to add to the developing the One Pot Kit – a portable set of crockery, tableware, recipes, ingredients and library-made products which has become part of the library’s permanent collections, and a resource for future meals.

An illustrated poster, on a bright yellow background, of a large pot. A small, dark silhouette of a carrot approaches the pot from the sky. There is a red sauce dripping down the side of the dark pot with the words 'One Pot Project' traced in it. The information reads: 27 and 28 March, 11-4 PM. Cooking, eating, and making in Crosby Library.
