You Can Cook

You Can Cook is a celebration of food, people and cultures!  You Can Cook was established in 2007 and was set up to encourage and empower local communities to make informed choices about their food and health.  Healthy eating initiatives are promoted through every service from cookery classes, demonstrations, workshops, talks and seminars with training for young people in primary and secondary schools, youth groups, families, elderly, disadvantaged communities and individuals with allergies and food intolerances. A safe and relaxed environment is created where people from all ages can come together, socialise, rediscover and explore a healthier approach to cooking with simple and nutritious ingredients using seasonal and local produce. You Can Cook has created an off-shoot, You Can Grow which helps to raise awareness of how and where our food comes from and also introduces the concept of growing food free of chemical fertilisers and pesticides in client’s gardens and allotments.  This is done by teaching clients how to convert their outdoor/indoor paces into edible gardens or working together in community allotments using organic/permaculture principles. Another initiative to come out of this off-shoot is the launch of a book for growers in Scotland, aimed at aspiring growers of all ages, beginners and experts too. The book is a simple, practical guide to help purchasers take the first steps to growing their own food and have fun at the same time. There is no need to buy expensive starter kits to get growing as the book is full of easy to find and use household items that are normally thrown away and which can be recycled to help in the growing process. This is the first book published by a Community Interest Company and Social Enterprise aimed at Scottish growers. The book is priced at £12.99 and proceeds from sales mean that the Organisation is able to reach more families and communities across Scotland, helping them to grow and cook their own delicious food. The book is available in all big and independent bookstores in the UK, including online through our website.

HI I'M DEXTER MOSCOW – A SALES COACH, SPEAKER, AND COMMUNICATION EXPERT Yes, my name is Dexter Moscow! It might sound like a stage name, but I promise—it’s on my birth certificate. While I never entirely fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming a leading man on the silver screen, I’ve spent plenty of time in front of the camera. As a presenter on QVC The Shopping Channel, I sold millions of pounds worth of products for major technology brands and high-street retailers. But my expertise goes beyond being in the spotlight. For 16 years, I worked behind the scenes as QVC’s Chief Guest Trainer, coaching guest presenters, celebrities, and industry experts on how to sell effectively to an invisible audience. BRINGING TV-SELLING TECHNIQUES TO THE BUSINESS WORLD The skills I honed in the fast-paced world of live television—crafting compelling sales messages, engaging audiences, and mastering persuasion—now form the foundation of my sales coaching and communication training in the corporate world. Beyond TV, my career has spanned advertising, real estate, and even a stint at an agency with some rather interesting ‘Mafia connections’! These diverse experiences have given me a unique perspective on influence and persuasion. SPEAKER, AUTHOR, AND COMMUNICATION COACH I speak at corporate events, conferences, and symposiums, covering topics like: 🎤 The Art of Selling and Persuasion 📢 How to Communicate with Impact 📺 Mastering the ‘Televisual Age’ – Selling & Presenting Online My book, Stand Up and Sell, teaches the proven frameworks I’ve used to help people become more confident, compelling, and effective in sales and presentations. And with so much business now happening online, I’m updating it for this new era—Sit Down and Zoom. FUN FACTS & SHOWBIZ STORIES 🎭 Ever had popcorn thrown at you by Julia Roberts? I have—on the set of Notting Hill. 🎭 Been sworn at by Kate Winslet? Check—during Branagh’s Hamlet. 🎭 Worked with Nigella Lawson, Lulu, and other stars? Absolutely. Oh, and as a trained voiceover artist, I’ve even been the ‘Voice of God’ at award ceremonies. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your sales skills, improve your presentations, or learn how to influence and persuade with confidence, I can help. Let’s talk.
