Alyson's Story
I have recently arrived in Darwin from Wales to visit DCA, and the first project I was able to take part in was My Sister's Kitchen. I had read about the project and knew a little so was really excited to see it and take part myself. The food being made this week was Samosa's, so, after we went shopping for the ingredients everyone arrived and the cooking began. Like myself, there were other new comers to the group this week, but everyone took part in preparing the food which gave an opportunity to chat and get to know each other. Being a terrible cook, I helped with peeling and chopping potatoes, and had a cry as I cut the onions. The atmosphere was fantastic as the sounds of food cooking, and people chatting and laughing filled the room. As well as the cooking, the younger people of the group took part in some drama games where they played team games, created pictures and generally had fun! It was then time to eat the delicious food that was made and for the first time it grew quieter as everyone sat around and eat the food together.
