Food and eating together is a huge part of the Filipino culture and it’s no surprise that preparing dishes played a big role in our community’s fellowship meetings. Those who are regulars at our weekly gatherings take turns in preparing the meals that we eat together.
When it was my turn to do the cooking, some of the women expressed their desire to gain more culinary skills. They wanted to be more creative in the kitchen and learn more recipes so that they can prepare better dishes for their respective families—especially during special events. So we came up with a plan to hold occasional cooking demos and invite resource persons in the area of culinary arts. As a start, we tried a few recipes with sayote and made kimchi. The women were delighted and many of them tried the recipes on their own right away.
