The Larder

larder cupboards

The Larder is our stocked food pantry which allows students to help themselves to free food. The food is stored in two cupboards in the corridor between the Learning Resource Centre and Room 242 in the main UHI Inverness building.

Run by volunteers with Food Hygiene certification, it is kept stocked and is open to students to help themselves during campus opening hours. As well as general non-perishable food supplies, the cupboards also contain bags of ingredients needed to make a weekly meal during the Zoom cook-along sessions provided by The Cooking Club. Recipe cards for the virtual cooking classes are also available in The Larder.

There are also two cupboards in the student accommodation, managed by student classes, that are stocked with donated food.

We also have plans to expand our food aid provision later in 2023 by building a permanent Larder outside in a grassed area close to the front of the main campus.

Before the day of virtual cooking club

We will send you a list of ingredients and equipment required. However, Recipe cards can be found below:

If you would like to cook along with us, you can pick up the ingredients for FREE from the Larder between the Learning Resource Centre and Room 242. These will already be in bags for you to make a weekly meal during the Zoom cook-along sessions provided by The Cooking Club.

  • Recipe cards for the virtual cooking classes are also available in The Larder.

Don’t worry if you don't have the exact same ingredients. Some ingredients are optional, we will mark the optional ingredients on the list. We will give alternatives to use whenever possible. We will also mark if the equipment is optional e.g. you don’t need to blend your soup if you don’t have a blender.

We will email you a link to the Zoom meeting and instructions on how to join.

On the day of virtual cooking club

  • Get out your ingredients and the equipment you will need before virtual cooking club starts.
  • Test your audio and video on your device by following the Zoom link.
