Elgin Eats is a government funded, New Horizons for Seniors, community outreach project that is working in partnership with the Elgin Eco Association, the Elgin Seniors Club and the Elgin Women’s Institute. The mission of this project is to socialize the community members of Elgin in an intergenerational setting, all the while, increasing food skills and knowledge through sharing of traditions and recipes.
The heritage enrichment and focus on from scratch cooking are an asset to individuals both young and old. This has been achieved through weekly community cooking sessions, overseen by the program facilitator and coordinator Samantha Christensen (shown in picture).
Elgin Eats is still fresh only having started in May of this year, though this summer Samantha had great success and often hosted more than one gathering a week to accommodate the demand. The lacto-fermentation, kombucha, sourdough and foraging sessions (or kitchen parties as they are regularly referred too) were by far the most popular to date!
