“I try to do as many community events like this as I can – I think it’s my responsibility to support this kind of work”
The families who turned up at Heart of Scotstoun’s community lunch did a double-take when they realised who was cooking.
“I try to do as many community events like this as I can – I think it’s my responsibility to support this kind of work,” he explains. “Food touches everyone, it’s such an easy way to bring people together, whatever their background.” Gary, whose “day job” is executive chef lecturer at City of Glasgow College, is passionate about food“I’m loving being part of these events because I get the chance to meet volunteers who are doing this every day,” he says. “I don’t think people completely understand just how much of this kind of good work goes on in our communities.
“We are seeing a large increase in working families using our services, whereas before it was mainly people who receive benefits.”

Importantly, this mechanism was evolutionary conserved as it had a very similar effect on mouse and human heart muscle cells.
