About this ebook
On March 21st 2020 The United Kingdom entered lockdown. Everything that we took for granted on a daily basis was no more. Due to a global pandemic, the fatal disease Covid -19, the UK was having to fight the greatest crisis since the Second World War.
At PureGym Redditch, we decided to start a facebook group to support all our members through this time with live fitness classes, digital coffee and natters, and what is now known as Covid Kitchen.
Many of our members and their friends were having to self isolate making their home a very lonely place. So, every Friday night and at the start a Wednesday, as well we cooked together. We travelled to all the countries that we had memories from our holidays and cooked their local cuisine, including making sure we hit Steak & Ale pie for a very special VE day, albeit the chef may have been a bit tiddly.
Some great friendships have been formed from this very special group. The memories and stories that we shared will be treasured for a long time.

STU BAKER - UK LOCKDOWN 2020
FORWARD
I love to cook! Along with sport, it's my therapy. I zone into a different world. Music on, glass of wine poured and a set of sharp knives with a worktop full of ingredients to cook up a storm. There have been some bad dishes along with some beauties.
Back in April, when I decided to have a cook along online, I had no idea where it would take me. As well as eating very well, great friendships were made and it became an experience I will always look back on with a smile on my face in this very strange year of 2020.
As a team we have travelled around the world cooking dishes from holiday memories and from what I have learnt from over the years.
Hopefully I taught you how easy something is to cook rather than buy it ready made.
I would like to thank everybody who has been involved in this experience and one day we can share a virtual cook along again ,but definitely in better circumstances.
I would like to say a massive Thank you to the chief taster, wine pourer and photographer Henriette. xx
I don't think I will miss some of the questions and there is only one word that can now be said.
' BEAUTIFUL'
Big Love - Stu
