Cooking for Connection: a recipe book by DIVERSEcity
Food is more than fuel — it’s connection, comfort and culture.
At DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society, a registered charity serving people and communities in BC, we believe that cooking and sharing meals can help bring people together, nurture wellbeing and create a sense of belonging.
That’s why we’ve created this community recipe collection, filled with simple, healthy and affordable dishes like chocolate zucchini muffins, lentil soup and more!
Food is an important part of many of our programs, from nutrition activities with our early years program, to social meals for seniors, to food security programs. The easy recipes in this cookbook have been shared and taught in many of these programs. They reflect not only healthy nutrition, but also the joy of cooking and learning from each other, while celebrating flavours from around the world that remind us of home.
Because when we cook together, we don’t just make food — we make community.
