ENERGY ACTION SCOTLAND - article from https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/19043498.cooking-without-gas-helping-families-scotland/ Cooking Without Gas: helping families in Scotland With Scottish Government estimates that fuel poverty has risen to a shocking 29% of households in Scotland due to Covid-19, Energy Action Scotland has galvanised the support of its members and the general public to help struggling families eat hot food this winter.

A catastrophic increase in the number of people struggling to afford their energy needs will have a grievous effect on the health and wellbeing for hundreds of thousands of people this year. Energy Action Scotland launched a successful crowdfunder to pay for pressure cookers and partnered up with Gary Maclean, National Chef of Scotland and Masterchef The Professionals Champion, to help families cook hot food at a time when so many services and amenities are closed. Supported by Warmworks Scotland and A.C.Whyte, Energy Action Scotland and Gary Maclean are launching freely available ‘how to’ videos that will help struggling families reduce energy bills by cooking in a pressure cooker funded by our JustGiving appeal. Gary Maclean is a multi-award-winning chef who has run the kitchens at Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art and the Burrell Collection and has held executive chef positions at two of Scotland’s biggest independent operators. Gary went on to win Masterchef The Professionals in 2016 and was then announced as Scotland's first ever National Chef in 2018.
