It’s here.
The official commemorative cookbook, laboured by a rag tag team of hard-working members, celebrating 50 years of Australia’s longest running food co-operative!
The Canberra Food Co-op is Australia’s longest running food co-operative – and that’s no mean feat. For 50 years, this humble space has been stocked with lentils, pulses, people power and hope. What began in 1976 as a group of university students wanting access to affordable, package-free health foods has evolved into a bulk food and goods shop, a café, an event space, and a vital community third space for students, foodies, activists, artists and city-dwellers alike.
This book is a celebration of all the thousands of people who have kept the doors of the Co-op open for 50 years. It is a cookbook, and it is a history book. 60+ vegetarian recipes celebrating the food and the people of the Co-op, and the story of how, against all odds, this progressive, anti-capitalist food store has persisted through the decades.
This is food for people, not for profit.
Co-op Working Members and Members are able to use their store discounts on the online store. You should have received your coupon code in an email. If you haven’t, please contact the Co-op.
