Join us this Friday (5th May from 4pm) at the Newcastle Deaf Centre for a special event during Deaf Awareness Week, where we'll be celebrating the deaf community in Newcastle and the diversity of cultures through the universal language of food! These secret recipes have been refined by generations, and we're excited to have Agnes, a talented cook from a multi-cultural household with Caribbean and Nigerian roots, sharing her love for food with the community.
Agnes grew up watching her grandmother cook and learned to make authentic Caribbean jerk chicken, curry goat, and popular African jollof rice. These recipes have been passed down through her family for generations. Jerk chicken is a spicy, flavorful chicken dish marinated with Jamaican jerk seasoning, while curry goat is a spicy meat stew made with goat meat, and jollof rice is a one-pot rice dish made with tomato sauce, spices, and vegetables.
Agnes used to own a Caribbean restaurant in Central Newcastle and is now partly retired, but we invite her back and she will be using our platform as a freelancer to share her love for cooking with the community. She can't wait to serve up her signature dishes and transport your taste buds to the Caribbean and Africa!
So come on down and experience the flavors of the Caribbean and Africa. Let's eat, enjoy, and celebrate cultural diversity through food! See you there!

Merelize will be making chicken sosaties, which are marinated skewers of meat, cheesy garlic pap bolltjies, which are small bread rolls filled with garlic and cheese, and chakalaka salad, a spicy vegetable relish that is a popular side dish in South Africa.
Merelize grown up from Namibia and South Africa, where the gastronomy is predominantly centered around meat. She shared with us that in Namibia, there is an endless variety of meats available, including ostrich, antelope, zebra, giraffe, oryx, kudu, lamb, and beef. The meat is usually grilled and served with rich and flavorful sauces.

We’re excited to have Estefani, a talented cook from Chile 🇨🇱, showcasing her signature recipe of traditional Chilean empanadas with cheese, meat, and vegetables.
Empanadas are savory pastries filled with various ingredients, such as meat, cheese, vegetables, or fruit, and are popular in many Latin American countries.
👩🍳Estefani started cooking after moving to the UK and realizing she couldn’t find the same authentic empanadas she grew up with. She learned techniques from famous cooks online while combining her family’s traditional recipes, and now her empanadas are her most beloved dish. She loves the hot and crunchy outside that complements the soft and tender inside. One bite and you’ll be in food heaven, wanting to eat more!
