There are many people in theGreater Victoria area who struggle to make ends meet daily and evenmore so in times of economic instability. Families, students andseniors do their best day to day trying to cook and eat healthy foodson a very limited budget. The Victoria area also has a large number ofsuites and in-house apartments which help to house many people whocould not otherwise afford to live here. In many of these suites andapartments the kitchen cooking facilities are at a minimum. In a lotof cases, there is a 2 burner hot plate, a microwave oven, and perhapsa toaster oven. The Mustard Seed is an organization that is trying tohelp those in need by not only providing food, but by educating boththe users of their services and those who donate. Teaching people howto cook a healthy meal in a short period of time, using limitedfacilities would not only help ensure they are eating nutritiously, butcould reduce medical problems, help children learn better in school,and help seniors maintain their independence. For people who donate tothe Mustard Seed, every donation is a welcome one, but moreimportantly, donations of healthy foods high in nutritional value arealways needed and encouraged. $ ]/ Y% P& f8 S. f v / h2 s% J# m$ L7 r6 S 1 a& t- x, q+ H. i7 c- ]3 m: H, C7 B# u6 l+ k& a Method 2 `9 Z5 z) X' Z8 ?Entree-preneur Epicure is a creative cooking competition between 8 chefs from the GreaterVictoria area.
