This self-study guide to food, shopping and nutrition was created by Manchester Met students as part of a cross faculty project led by Dr Orla Flannery (Science and Engineering) and Ann Hunt (Health and Education) under the Public Health Nutrition Module.

The Fuel Your Future Campaign was developed by Lizzie Warnes, Micah Giffin, Rofiat Abolanle Folawewo and Zarish Yaqub, as part of their Master’s in Human Nutrition. 

Micah, Rofiat and Zarish – international students from the USA, Nigeria and Pakistan – understand firsthand the challenges of adjusting to life in the UK, especially when it comes to navigating the local food scene around Manchester Metropolitan University. Lizzie, a proud Brit with 20 years of experience living in Manchester, brings her love of international cuisine and deep knowledge of the city’s vibrant food culture to the team.  

Together, they’ve combined their unique perspectives – balancing the search for healthy, culturally relevant food with insider tips on what Manchester has to offer – to create the resources in this RISE pack. 

We hope you find these materials helpful, inspiring and delicious. Enjoy exploring the recipes and fuelling your future!
