We had a wonderful time at our last workshop at the Bayshore Park Community Garden & Oven. Chef Dhanalakshmi and her partner Pooja from Desi Rasoi taught community members how to make Peshwari Naan, a special recipe that Dhanalakshmi first learned to make through the unique resources available in the Bayshore community. As they waited for their dough to rise, neighbours shared what they loved about their community, the challenges it has faced and the strengths that allow it to thrive. Newcomers in the room were made to feel welcome and enticed to come back to Bayshore to enjoy bread at the outdoor oven and sunny days in the park throughout the summer. As participants went outside to enjoy their freshly baked naan, vegetarian gravy with paneer and raw mango drink by the oven, families began to gather in the park and garden, teens began to arrive to make pizza at the oven and the sense of community continued to grow. We are so grateful to our partners at the Oven and Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre for welcoming our work into this special place - and to the Neighbourhood Arts 150 - L'Art des quartiers 150 program for supporting the storytelling and community building that can happen through food and unconventional spaces.

It was a beautiful day for with the neighbors of the Bayshore Park community. The wonderful Hala Goname of Ottawa Egyptian kitchen lead us in making Aish Baladi, a traditional Egyptian flatbread full of wheat bran and healthful vitamin B. As Hala taught us, in Egypt, when you share bread together, you commit to being honest and respectful with each other. The expert oven masters at the Bayshore Park Community Garden & Oven baked our flatbreads until they were crisp and fluffy. And the aish was enjoyed with Hala’s kofte, pickled eggplant and tahini sauce as we gathered around the table to share what foods, activities, places, values and people make us feel healthy. Vegetables from the community garden, belly dancing, the bike paths, patience, and volunteers were just some of the ingredients in the room. Big thanks to our partners at Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre for having us and keeping everything running smoothly.
