Well done to everyone involved this evening. Although it was a quieter service with 14 guests, the team performed brilliantly and delivered a fully vegan menu, showcasing creativity and teamwork throughout.
An impressive highlight of the night was the use of pumpkin in every dish. The menu featured bubble and squeak with pumpkin purée, followed by roasted pumpkin with mash and garlic romanesco. Dessert rounded off the meal perfectly with a classic pumpkin pie.
A great example of making something special regardless of numbers!
Operating every Thursday evening at the Togetherness Community Centre in Mitcham, the project welcomes guests from all walks of life to share a hot meal and engage in friendly conversation in a warm, inclusive environment. The meals are prepared by dedicated volunteers using surplus food collected from local supermarkets and grocers, ensuring that perfectly edible food is diverted from landfill and put to good use. Volunteers take on various roles, including cooking, hosting, and food collection, all contributing to the creation of a welcoming space where guests can enjoy both nourishment and companionship. By fostering connections among community members and promoting sustainability, FoodCycle Mitcham not only provides immediate support to those facing hardship but also works towards building a more resilient and connected local community.
