How to Participate
Put on your cooking apron and your chef’s hat and have that excuse to show your cooking skills by preparing a traditional dish from parts of the Caribbean/African diaspora (e.g., Jollof rice, gumbo, jerk chicken, plantains)
You can cook at home and bring your dishes to share at your closest Rainbow Fostering Office.
If you are not eligible to attend the event, please get involved by sending us some images of what you prepared, and we will make sure we post your participation on Social Media!
Create recipe cards for each dish, explaining the cultural significance and origins of the dish to educate and inspire conversation.
Finally, we would love to hear from anyone that wishes to share why the dish they are cooking is personally meaningful to them. Sharing stories about their cultural experiences, family traditions, or inspirational figures from Black history.
