Hello, Thursday foodies

A recently launched crowd-funding campaign aims to raise $50,000 for Flame Tree Co-op. The non-profit grocery store in Thirroul is looking to generate funds for essential infrastructure projects and to bolster its savings. If you can help, the article provides a link to the campaign.

This week 20-year-old Japanese student Rina, who is on a short-term stay with a friend of mine, cooks us a fantastic Japanese meal – teriyaki chicken, potato salad and miso soup. I share the recipe below.

The  Cook-Off program by the Multicultural Communities Council of the Illawarra (MCCI) connects people across generations and cultures over cooking and food. The results are several great cookbooks and a celebration of diversity and cooperation.

Enjoy,
