About this Event
Who we are
Likewise is a community centre based in South Hampstead/Swiss Cottage, with a focus on community connection, wellbeing and mental health. Our aim is to create spaces and places where anyone can receive support, and anyone can belong. We believe that we all have something to learn, and we all have something to offer, and that real change happens when we can meet people as people. Our Community Kitchen is at the heart (or stomach!) of that vision - a warm and homely gathering point, where cooking and sharing food together supports us to connect with others, grow together and just have a lovely time!
About Healthy Baking
Join us at Likewise for relaxed, friendly and hands-on baking classes exploring how delicious food can go hand-in-hand with nourishing ingredients and everyday wellbeing.
Each two-hour session will shine a spotlight on a different wholesome ingredient. You’ll have the chance to make simple, seasonal recipes using ingredients such as nuts, seeds, natural sugars, fruit, vegetables, alternative flours and better fats. Quality chocolate, eggs and dairy may also feature – all used in balance to create delicious biscuits, cakes, bliss balls, crackers and more.
As you bake, Agnieszka will guide you through the recipes, sharing easy-to-understand nutrition tips and practical ideas you can try at home. The sessions are all about learning by doing, getting involved and enjoying the experience together. At the end, there’ll be time to sit down with a cup of tea and, of course, taste what you’ve made!
Everyone is welcome, whether you’re an experienced baker or trying it for the first time. All baking equipment, aprons, ingredients and recipes will be provided.
Cost: For those who are able, we ask for a contribution of £2.50 per class to help cover the cost of ingredients.
When: Every other week on Tuesday 1-3pm
Meet Agnieszka
Agnieszka is the founder of Rise and Shine Baking and has been part of the Likewise community since 2019, running baking sessions and sharing her love of food and creativity with people at our Hub. Over the past few years, she has built strong connections with our community and has continued to develop her workshops based on the interests and needs of the people taking part.
More recently, Agnieszka’s work has been shifting towards a more natural and nutritious approach to food and baking. Through this new workshop series at Likewise, she’ll help you exploring simple ways to make food that is nourishing, accessible and still comforting and delicious.
Agnieszka is currently developing a new website to reflect the next chapter of her work and her growing focus on healthier, more nourishing approaches to baking.
