Last week's Meet and Eat looked to Italy for inspiration. We made spaghetti Bolognese, bruschetta and pizzas (everyone chose their own toppings). Pudding was a quick and easy tiramusu. The bruschetta are always one of my favourites!

Ooops. I didn't post anything from last week's Meet and Eat. We took our inspiration from across the pond and made fajitas, potato wedges and Boston baked beans. Pudding was red, white and blue fruit creams. (I'll post today's pictures tomorrow.)

I've just crunched some numbers. In April 2019 we provided food for 210 adults and 88 children. That's a 50% increase over April 2018. We're really lucky to have such amazing supporters and volunteers, but this really will push us to our limits if if continues.

We were inspired by Greece at Meet and Eat yesterday. We made moussaka and vegetarian moussaka, Greek salad, Greek salad omelette and a butternut squash and bulgar wheat stew. Pudding was fruit creams with homemade meringues. Everything tasted great!
