This month we would like to highlight Lyn Tucker from QCWA Bundaberg Branch in Burnett Division. Here are a few words from Lyn about being a Country Kitchens facilitator:
I have been with Country Kitchens for two years and am from the Bundaberg branch, Burnett Division. I am in an a cappella singing group and also enjoy gardening. I became a QCWA Country Kitchens facilitator because I loved the idea of being able to make much loved recipes healthier with just a few modifications. I love to use fresh fruit and vegetables in my meals and think Country Kitchens makes it easy to ‘health-a size’ recipes.
Last year, I facilitated a Country Kitchens interactive showcase in my local community at the Taste of Bundaberg event. We made different cake, muffin and slice recipes from the Country Kitchens recipe book to hand out as taste testers. The recipes used dried fruit to give them their sweet flavour and had added fruit or vegetables for a boost of fibre.
Other people should get involved with the QCWA Country Kitchens program because I think it’s a great way to get hooked on healthy food and have more energy. I have certainly enjoyed making a difference in the health of my community and am looking forward to working with Country Kitchens in 2023!
If you or someone you know is keen to work with the QCWA Country Kitchens program, we are always looking to increase our volunteer workforce. To learn all about what we do, please get in touch with the team on 0417 539 663, or head to our website: qcwacountrykitchens.com.au
