NLI "Cooks Up Community"
A group of NLI participants and grads joined with CCE's nutrition program and the Whole Community Project to launch the new "Cooking Up Community" program on May 21, 2010. The Carribbean-themed meal included empanadas, butternut squash fritters, rice and beans, green salad and fruit salad. NLI members organized the event and served as the featured chefs, teaching each other favorite recipes and getting to meet new friends. The event was held in the Lindeman Creek Apartments community room, and the activity and aroma drew in some Lindeman residents who declared the food "amazing" and volunteered to host a future dinner.
