Virtual Tables
Join other students across Canada for virtual events focussed on food! While we can't meet in person, we can find new ways to connect with good food and each other.
What inspires you?
Send us a food photo!
We're super proud of our project, and thrilled to share a piece that the CLP's @jenmitsche wrote for the @concordiafoodcoalition blog. Follow the link in our bio to read this piece that tells the story of our project and the increasingly urgent need that students have to connect with each other over good food. Like we've always said, focus on the food first, and everything else will follow!
Posted @withregram • @joshnamaharaj Attention postsecondary students! Campus food coordinators! Student health services! College & university administrators! Time and time again postsecondary students tell us that they're hungry...for good, wholesome food, and for connection with others around a table.
The @communallunch project has been filling this gap for some students, and we're delighted to share some of our resources with other schools and groups looking to offer virtual and in-person communal cooking sessions for students.
The resources section on our website now holds all of the kitchen notes that we created for both virtual and in-person cook alongs. These are recipes that are #seasonal, #affordable, #wholesome, #delicious, #culturallydiverse, and easy to make!
Follow the link in my bio to check this out, download some kitchen notes and get cooking on your campus!!

Posted @withrepost • @joshnamaharaj The @communallunch project team held its second #SundaysinResidence @thegeorgeresidence yesterday! We had a big group of students, and made beef & veggie nachos, fully loaded with guacamole, fresh salsa, and quick pickled vegetables, and a rich chocolate fudge cake packed with beet & zucchini. Then everyone piled onto the couch in the common room and watched Ratatouille!! It was a perfect way to start the academic year, show the students how they can share food with each other, and demonstrate ways to build a campus food culture. #studentfood #vegetablecake #makeittogether #loadednachos #chocolatecake #communitykitchen

When you gather together in a kitchen with a community or with family, you get to have great conversations and share a great meal.
But you also take home values that impact your life in many positive ways.

Can you guess the cost of ingredients for the grain bowls we made at our last event? Comment below ⬇️
The cost was unbelievable. The flavors? Mouth-watering.
And working together with other students to create a meal? Like a home away from home.
All students went home with a big smile.
Stay tuned to hear about the values we took home from the event 🍽

Posted @withregram • @joshnamaharaj A kitchen is so much more than food and equipment. Kitchens need to be inviting spaces that welcome you in, and offer some inspiration for what delicious things can be made. Last weekend, the @communallunch team and I hosted a community kitchen session for students @thegeorgeresidence. We made brown rice bowls, packed full of seasonal ingredients and delicious summer flavour. We had 12 students in the kitchen, and in just 2 hours, we had all of this beautiful food prepped and ready to eat. Around the table with students we heard lots of stories of bad food experiences, and got lots of ideas about the kind of good food programs they'd love to see. Basic needs include air, water, AND food. Student residences that don't include meal plans or any food service do NOT meet student needs. Food is not a frill, it's a basic human need. This can be so much better. #studentfood #communitykitchen #kitchenanimation #brownricebowl #studentcooking #summerfood #localfood
