In food we find a space of togetherness. Recipes share the living history of culture, lineage, and family. It’s why Scarborough Arts is so excited to be sharing the launch of the Cultural Cookbook Project from the participants of our Healthy Arts for Seniors programming that took place from November 2019 to early February 2020.
The project, in collaboration with the CASSA (Council of Agencies Serving South Asians) and Toronto Arts Council, involved the gathering of primarily Tamil newcomer and refugee senior (55+) women for a community writing, photography, and cooking workshop series at the East Scarborough Storefront. Participants were guided by professional photographer and community facilitator, Diana Nazareth, and translator/community partner, Maithily Uthayasangar.
