A NEW cook book is preserving cherished family recipes and promoting healthy eating.
Uniting AgeWell’s Noble Park community produced From Seed to Table to raise funds for a community garden complete with outdoor kitchen.
Community programs co-ordinator Michelle Thompson said the recipes had sentimental value.
She said they were recipes their grandparents used to make, that they used to cook for their children or had been handed down over successive generations.
“There is a lot of cultural diversity among our residents and the recipes reflect that diversity,” Ms Thompson said.
“Our recipes range from Kotopoulo Kapama from Greece to Vindaloo from India to Pho from Vietnam and even the basic meatloaf and pavlova.”
From Seed to Table costs $25 and is available by calling 9554 0717.
