As a new comer to Darwin I had very little comprehension of what community exists here and I certainly wasn't sure what to expect when I attended the event at My Sisters Kitchen. A little shy at first, I approached the event with a certain awkwardness. My concern did not last long however as the moment I entered Chambers Crescent Theatre I was greeted with an amazing aroma and a group of friendly faces, many of whom were in a similar situation. While eating a curry that was lovingly made I sat at a table with a group of people more than happy to chat about their experiences in Darwin and about where they were from and how they came to be here. The relaxed atmosphere of the evening was complimented by the talented and very funny Ali Mills who offered her official welcome to country and then proceeded to teach us Waltzing Matilda in Larrakia. The openness of the people who attended the evening, in addition to the wonderful food and entertainment made my first experience of My Sisters Kitchen very memorable. If you have a love of food and community I strongly suggest you join the group on a Monday afternoon.
