History of My Sisters' Kitchen by Bong Ramilo
In January 2008, Josie Mesiku and I agreed to pursue the setting up of "The African Kitchen", a mobile catering business and cafe that would operate out of the former Pizza Parlor at Malak Shopping Centre. Josie was a Community Arts Organiser for Darwin Community Arts and an African community leader. Josie had been working with a group of African women on the project since 2007; she was happy to work with DCA jointly to progress the project. Josie and I inspected the shop and had initial discussions with Henry Yap, the Shopping Centre owner, who was supportive of the project.

Well, MSK gatherers had another night of incorporating an cross-cultured aspect of mixed cuisines! The internet had me believe that Burma had their own vegetable spaghetti recipe....soo I shopped accordingly, only to find out by MSK Burmese participants, that this concept was faux (never trust the internet). Anyhow, where-ever this vegetable pasta sauce idea originated it did indeed help mix to different cuisine flavors together. Our freshly home-made fettecini pasta was coated consistently with slowly simmered slighltly spicey vegetable sauce.

The first gathering was like a reality-tv show; ' Ready-Steady-Cook' episode! With all hands on deck, my groceries shopping bags were poured out &, well managed into 3 beautiful traditional curries. With Sandra driving the helm and, everybody having her vital ingredient ready, for her when needed & Yaqub assisting, making an execellant sous-chef!
Prawn & fresh tomato currie, Whole egg & potato currie, & lastly for the main course's a wonderfully tasty tumeric-vegetable stir-fry. All traditionally accompanied with cocnut rice.

WOW... What a great MSK to finish the year off on! There were moments I looked around the room, and thought that, 'this is what it's all about!'. New faces, old friends & vibrantly fresh produce! (except for the pumpkin!) The multicultural menu left everybody finding a culinary task to their ability, or if not, a simple delegation's of knife and vegetable action was swiftly communicated.....and the prep, cooking & cleaning flowed with laughter.
