Building Bridges to celebrate and embrace diversity on the Isle of Wight.The Culture Kitchen is a new project by the Equals Friendship Group. The aim is to educate people about different cultures through the use of food. The Friendship Group members provide sessions on ethnic cookery in the local college, schools and other groups.
Equals Culture Kitchen was invited to provide a session at the IW College for staff development day on the 9th of May.
Three of the members of the Friendship Group, Cecila, Niviera and Maresel, ran this session. Samantha, the Friendship Group Co-ordinator, was also there to help out. Cecila decided the menu and was responsible for obtaining all the ingredients and writing up the recipe sheets for the participants. The other two ladies and Samantha helped by preparing ingredients and lending a hand with the cooking.
