On Friday our Reconnect through Cookery group made a delicious pasta bake. We had a plain sausage bake, a plain tuna bake, and some with mushrooms, onions, peas, sweetcorn, and peppers. Our members also prepared a fresh and healthy salad using tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, and spring onions.

We had a full house again and served up 60 portions! We even made our own garlic butter and added parsley and chives to part-baked rolls, which were absolutely delicious! Lunch was enjoyed by everyone.

It’s amazing to see everyone joining in, having fun, learning new skills, and trying new foods. These sessions make a huge difference to our members, reducing isolation and loneliness. A big thank you to all our fantastic volunteers for helping in the kitchen, running the quiz and bingo, and setting up the hall.

We’re off next week, but we’ll see you all on Friday, October 4th when we’ll be making curry with chicken korma and balti, chosen by our member Connor.
