Let’s cook
Michelle Favero – Manager of Marketing and Communications
In the school holidays, fifteen Emanuel parents chopped, grated and mixed their way through countless kilograms of onions, butternut, choc chips and much more, to make delicious, nutritious and comforting meals for those in our school community who need support during difficult times.
The School’s Food Lab, equipped with impressive commercial-grade cooking equipment, was the venue of much laughter, conversation, bubbling soup pots and decadent brownies creaming in Mix Masters.
Last term we placed a call out to parents to volunteer to cook and bake for the Mitzvah Meal program. We had a wonderful response, with over sixty people offering their help. Sadly, we couldn’t accommodate all of those who generously offered their time, but there will be further opportunities in the future to be involved.
Two parents who participated in the great cook-up shared their thoughts and feelings about the experience:
“What a pleasure to be able to spend just an hour or two in the kitchen with other Emanuel parents and to know that you can have an impact on somebody else’s life. If you have just a little bit of time to spare I highly recommend contributing to make a difference.” Oliver Berger
“What a wonderful way to connect with a group of old and new friends peeling and stirring, the waft of soup simmering on the stove, the sound of mixmasters, giggles and chatter. So special to be a part of this community and such a fun night.” Carli Rothman
