Follow the Flow in partnership with Wiggly

August 7, 2024

General Manager Claire with Author Adrian Oades

Wiggly are thrilled to announce a new partnership with the author and publisher of a fantastic new cook book, called Follow the Flow.

Follow the Flow is different.  In a world full of cook books, we have never come across one that is quite so clear, intuitive and simple to use, whilst still offering a wide range of delicious recipe ideas.

The first in the Follow the Flow series focuses on dinners.   There are 68 to choose from, all presented in a clear, colourful format, using a combination of text and picture icons, guided by arrows so that you can simply follow the flow!   They use ingredients that are easy to access and can be adapted to suit individual food preferences.  Most of the recipes have advice about how to make them vegan or vegetarian for instance.

This week, the author, Adrian Oades, and his publisher, visited us at the Wiggly kitchens to deliver a generous donation of their cookbooks to Wiggly, for us to use in our courses.  It was an absolute pleasure to meet them both and to explore ideas for how to share their cookbooks with our Wiggly clientele.  Their passion for cooking and for sharing their product in the community shone through, so we are honoured that they have chosen to work with us at Wiggly to do just that.

This gift really means so much to us because their book is so well aligned with our Wiggly values.   Our ethos is all about inclusivity and accessibility in the kitchen, and the simple format of these books means that everyone can learn to cook.   They are perfect for any cook to use, at any level, but in particular will be a huge help to the many children and adults with learning difficulties, literacy challenges and dyslexia who come through our kitchen doors.  They have already been tried and tested by people living with autism and ADHD and have already been shown be helpful in enabling them to focus on the recipe and follow it step by step to make a delicious dinner!

We are so excited to build these books into our course repertoire and to gift them to some of our participants on completion of a course.   For more information on the books, please check out the Follow the Flow website at  https://www.follow-the-flow.com/

We will keep you all updated as we start to roll out these books into our courses.  In the meantime, we offer a big Wiggly thank you to Adrian and his fabulous publisher Rachel for such a generous donation of books.
