A World of Flavours: Broxtowe Businesses Launch International Book!

Nine Broxtowe businesses have shared some of their favourite recipes and the stories behind them as part of an international C-City project. Food is at the heart of everything so the book includes stories of food, culture and heritage across Europe and Broxtowe residents can find some of their favourite eateries included. 

Businesses included in the book are:

• The Victoria Hotel
• Glass Orchid
• Beeston Brownie
• Bake Me a Wish
• Charlie on the Hill
• Rumbletums
• Blue Monkey Brewery
• Essen General Store

This cookery book is part of a major European inter-communal cultural project: C-City which is a Cultural City Community made up of Broxtowe, Châteauroux , Falun, Grudziądz  and Gütersloh.

Broxtowe’s Community Committee is made up of local people that are passionate about bringing arts and culture to the residents of the Borough, and have been the masterminds behind events such as the Broxtowe Creates Festival and Friday18.

Councillor Teresa Cullen is Chair of the Committee and said, ‘In Broxtowe we have a huge arts and culture offering and our strong relationships with these European Cities is vital in post Brexit times. Food nourishes and sustains our bodies and our minds, it brings people together and we hope residents will enjoy not just recipes from the Borough, but from across the other four cities."

We want to thank the Broxtowe businesses that have worked closely with us to be a part of the project, and details on how residents can get a copy of the book can be found at www.broxtowe.gov.uk/cookbook.
