This session at Foodcycle Mitcham saw a higher-than-usual turnout, with approximately 30 guests in attendance. Despite receiving a limited delivery of fruit and vegetables, the team adapted quickly and efficiently. Our chefs prepared a hearty vegetable and rice curry, which was well received, and served cake for dessert.

A particularly heartwarming moment was when one guest brought along her emotional support puppies, which brought smiles and comfort to many of the guests and volunteers.

Overall, it was a successful and uplifting session that demonstrated flexibility, teamwork, and community spirit.

Afyer a healthy delivery of supplies, our kitchen team made caramelised onion and goats cheese flatbread, Stir fry veg noodles, passionfruit and strawberry cheesecake. 26 guests were served and had great feedback on the meal! Shout out to our first time volunteers who did an amazing job cooking and hosting.

We had a shorter session than usual due to not having a cooking team and limited food delivery. We did a bit of a tidy up, onboarded 1st time volunteers, did a walkround of the site and packed bags with potatoes, courgettes, tomatoes and oat milk for guests who dropped by. Major thanks to Hannah, a first time goodgymer who joined us on this session.

A delicious meal was created and served to 22 happy eaters, who praised the presentation. And braised iceberg lettuce is very tasty to eat on a hot day.

A lovely time being rushed off feet serving to 30 people a wonderful 3 course meal of Pomme Boulangere, mushroom and leek risotto and a clementine cake, all from surplus ingredients that would have gone to waste.

Lovely attendance - wonderful creativity by Food cycle with parsnips, tomato and bread and great teamwork
