This week, True Ambassadors launched Tasty Tuesdays, a brand-new initiative aimed at bringing our community together through the joy of cooking and sharing meals. Hosted at the Plaistow Community Centre, our first session was a great success, with participants learning new recipes, sharing culinary skills, and connecting over delicious food.
The event started with a hands-on workshop on making chapati, a much-loved flatbread enjoyed around the world. One of our residents shared her easy and delightful recipe, and soon everyone was mixing, kneading, and rolling dough with enthusiasm. The sense of accomplishment in creating something from scratch and preparing your own bread brought plenty of smiles and laughter.
Next, the focus shifted to preparing an original Jamaican sauce. Jamaican sauces are known for their bold flavours and bright colours. They reflect the island’s diverse heritage, with influences from African, European, and Asian cuisines. Participants worked together, chopping and washing ingredients, keen to be involved in every step of the process.
To finish off the day, Shein, our nutritionist, showed everyone how to make healthy smoothies. He used fresh fruits and almond milk to create refreshing and nutritious drinks. The smoothies provided a great way to end the day, showing how simple ingredients can turn into something both tasty and good for you.
As a special treat, we bottled and distributed the freshly prepared Jamaican sauce. This allowed everyone to take a piece of the event home and share it with their families.
At True Ambassadors, we believe Tasty Tuesdays is more than just a cooking class. It’s a way to foster connections, celebrate diversity, and create a warm, inclusive space for everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting out, there’s a place for you at our table.
Mark your calendar! Tasty Tuesdays will be held monthly at the Plaistow Community Centre. Join us to meet new friends, learn exciting recipes, and enjoy the magic of cooking together.
