In 2011 Christine opened Rowville Community Kitchen, changing people's lives through cooking and sharing good food. From training people of all ages & abilities to prep and cook through to running weekly lunch events and making small batch seasonal jams and chutneys, many have gone on to achieve their own dreams and goals. 2020 has been a challenge, with Christine forming new collaborations to provide wholesome cooked meals and fresh produce boxes to families who had lost their income, seniors who had to self isolate for many months and rough sleepers. Each week since March, Christine along with a couple of dedicated volunteers have cooked culturally appropriate meals for a wide range of dietary needs.
