Merton Eats Project is a movement a community-led YouTube cooking programme celebrating the cultural diversity of the London Borough of Merton. Through food, we aim to bring residents together, encourage cross-cultural understanding, and promote healthier eating habits. The series will feature local families, friends, and community groups from different backgrounds cooking their traditional dishes — with a modern, healthy twist — while sharing the stories and cultural significance behind their meals.
The project will be filmed in community spaces such as Sherwood Park Hall and local kitchens, with professional guidance for filming, editing, and nutrition. Episodes will be shared online to reach a wide audience across Merton and beyond, encouraging conversation, curiosity, and pride in our borough’s cultural richness.
