Only A Pavement Away launches Cook & Dine at Home with chef Tom Aikens

Written by: Edward Waddell
Only A Pavement Away, the charity supporting people facing homelessness and those wanting to rebuild their lives through employment, has launched an exclusive at-home dining initiative in partnership with chef and patron Tom Aikens to raise money for the charity.

Aikens has collaborated with British restaurateur Jamie Barber and TV presenter Myleene Klass, founders of restaurant quality finish at home meal kit service My Supper Hero, to create Cook & Dine at Home.

The new range features signature dishes which will be delivered nationwide and can be cooked at home, with Only A Pavement Away receiving a majority of the profits from all sales.

Aikens said: “I’m always looking for new initiatives to raise funds for Only A Pavement Away who not only help to give people a second start in life with the tools and skills they need to rebuild self-belief and confidence in themselves, but also contribute to the hospitality industry by giving their members stability through employment in the sector.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy deliciously prepared meals at home that are big on taste and fun, but with zero hassle. It’s the perfect solution to hosting a great dinner party.”

Cook & Dine at Home will allow people to support the charity while enjoying a gourmet meal curated by Tom Aikens, inspired by dishes that the chef himself makes in his downtime.

The meals include a starter of treacle & ginger glazed and cured salmon, and roasted aubergine, followed by a treacle & marmite marinated short rib with roast broccoli and shitake salad.

Greg Mangham, Only A Pavement Away founder and chief executive, added: “This is a great initiative – with supporters able to enjoy a superb night-in and raise money for our members at the same time. It means the charity can help more people work towards independence, self-sufficiency and bringing much needed new talent to the hospitality sector. We can’t thank Tom and Jamie enough for their generosity and support.”

Cook & Dine at Home will run for three months, with the recipes changing monthly. Each two course meal costs £110, and serves two people. To purchase visit www.mysupperhero.com.
