My name is Zaena\, and I am the new Programs Manager for Embark Sustainability! I’m recently graduated from SFU as a Philosophy and International Studies Major. I was raised on the unceded traditional territories of the Kwikwetlem nation\, which resides in shared territories of the Musquem\, Squamish\, Tsleil-Waututh\, Qayqayt\, Sto’:lo\, and Katzi nations – or\, what is Colonially known as “Coquitlam”. \nThere’s a lot of new beginnings for me – A new school year\, Ethiopian New Years has just passed\, and I’m new to Embark! Newness often feels like a sudden and uncomfortable break in what we know. But when I think of newness\, I also think of how cultural traditions transform to create new twists\, giving us throughlines to the past and present. \nFood is often at this epicentre of these throughlines. It carries on the traditions of our ancestors\, while adapting to its new environments. This cultural fluidity reminds me that newness has a cushion of the familiar underneath – which is almost as comforting a thought as eating some delicious Ethiopian meals. \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Accessibility\nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark Sustainability members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Sustainability Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Community Kitchen\, room #2125 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.

I am a Health Sciences student\, and the current Hi-FIVE (Movement for Mental Health) Coordinator. \nI am from Iran\, and in our culture\, just like many other cultures\, food is a way of connecting back to ourselves and our communities. \nThere are many different ways in which food and mental well-being are interconnected. Our level of mental well-being can impact our eating patterns and vice versa. That is briefly why I am passionate about addressing this topic further\, and I look forward to hearing others’ experiences and perspectives as well. \nJamie Hill\, Embark Design and Communications Manager \nHi everyone\, my name is Jamie (she/they) and I’m a settler living on the ancestral homelands of the Qayqayt and Musqueam Nations\, otherwise known as New West. \nI have a passion for environmental communication\, exploring the intersections of anxiety\, grief and climate as a blog writer and editor for several publications as well as through my role as Design and Communications Manager at Embark. I believe students are often a driving force for change\, but also face complex outside forces when it comes to taking time to eat\, rest\, and engage in community care on top of all the pressures placed on them. I’m looking forward to exploring these intersections with you all and hopefully lessening the load! \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS \nThis event takes place on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and kʷikʷəƛw̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nations. \nEVENT ACCESSIBILITY \nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Community Kitchen\, room #2125 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.

She was raised in a blended family with 5 siblings of Jamaican and Japanese heritage\, and is of Thai heritage herself. As someone who expresses their creative outlet through cooking and baking\, it has been a fun and delicious journey connecting to her heritage and cultural background by learning how to make Thai food. \nAlongside being a creative outlet\, Ellen believes making food (especially for friends and family) is a celebration and an expression of love. Her love for food has also transferred over in her studies at SFU as an Environmental and Resource Management Planning student where she has a special interest in sustainable food systems. She is excited about the challenge of incorporating food systems planning in an urban context. \nIn her spare time\, Ellen enjoys novice bird watching at Burnaby Lake\, open-water swimming\, and slowly knocking books off her TBR list. \nEVENT ACCESSIBILITY \nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Community Kitchen\, room #2125 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby.

DESCRIPTION:  \nRegister Today \nThis February\, Community Kitchen returns to Zoom with some extra oomph! Join Embark Sustainability and the SFSS Women’s Centre for a guided discussion about Filipino food\, accessing cultural foods in Metro Vancouver\, and our relationships to the meals we cook\, share\, and enjoy. Together we’ll become a barkada of our very own! \nThe event will include a short presentation on Filipino food and its relationship to: \n\nFacilitator Desiree and her family\nFilipinos in the diaspora\nColonization\nCountries (and cuisines!) neighbouring the Philippines.\n\nWhether you prefer listening and learning or chatting and cooking alongside Desiree\, this is a great opportunity to reflect on the connections between food and culture. Those who would like to cook along can email programs@embarksustainability.org for grocery support of up to $20. \nEmbark Sustainability’s work takes place across the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish)\, səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, kʷikʷəƛw̓əm (Kwikwetlem)\, Katzie\, Semiahmoo\, Qayqayt\, Stó:lō\, and Tsawwassen Nations. We greatly encourage our community members to reflect on the lands they are tuning in from; learn whose lands you occupy through native-land.ca. \nAbout the facilitator: Desiree Gabriel was born and raised on the unceded and traditional territories of the Musqueam\, Kwantlen\, Tssawwassen\, and Squamish nations\, in so-called Richmond\, BC. Her parents are both from the Tagalog speaking regions of the Philippines\, and typically cooked Filipino food for the family. When Desiree was 17\, she became pescatarian/plant based\, and disconnected largely from the meat intensive foods she grew up with. Nonetheless\, she was lucky enough to grow up in a diverse foodscape\, and with friends of numerous cultural backgrounds who would invite her to dinner. All of this\, alongside her education spurred her passion for food – leading her eventually into the realms of food justice\, cultural food reclamation\, and Indigenous food sovereignty. Her work at Embark Sustainability allows her to delve deeper into what food means to community and in relation to environmental/climate/social/racial justice. Her favourite local restaurants include John 3:16\, Salmon n Bannock\, Kiyabiya\, Di Reggae Cafe\, and Congee Dynasty!!

Chloe absolutely loves food\, she especially enjoys finding nutritious\, convenient\, and affordable recipes that can provide students with lots of energy. She loves nature and getting outside to go paddle-boarding and hiking around her own community in Port Moody\, B.C.! \nToday’s recipe is a nutritious\, wholesome and convenient dish for Chloe and her family. With lifelong involvement in sports\, stuffed peppers have always been a good dish to consume between practices. This recipe is also simple and quick to make after a long day of studying. Each recipe in Chloe’s home\, including this one\, has memories with friends and family attached to it. Stuffed peppers are a very flexible and adaptable dish!

We’re welcoming this month’s facilitator\, Lofty! \nLofty : I’m an international student from Guinea studying political science at Simon Fraser University. After living here for a few years now\, one of the many things I appreciate about Vancouver is its culinary diversity. Like many people\, I love eating; there is nothing better than knowing you can find a little bit of everything from everywhere here. In Africa\, We pride ourselves in the tastefulness of our organic fruits and vegetables. If there is one fruit that we have in abundance in Guinée\, it is mango\, especially found during the monsoon seasons. Since Guinean cuisine is all about stews\, a dish incorporating mango was bound to happen. The dish I’m going to share with you guys is Mango Stew. \nWhile we have moved this program online\, we still want to make this space as low-barrier as possible.

Join us for the second Community Kitchen for the fall semester\, at the Women’s Centre October 30th. Read below on this month’s facilitator\, Miraf Haile. \nA little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Addis Ababa\, Ethiopia. My parents are both from there. Because my family size is large\, I spent half the time at my grandmother’s\, which is where I learned how to cook. I came to Canada in December 2014 to study and cooking together with music is my way of staying connected to my home country and my Grandma. \nAcknowledgments \nThis event is being hosted on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples.

Aside from being the head of the SFSS Women’s Centre\, Paola has been cooking since an early age\, and at one moment she considered becoming a chef. She celebrates life and the Doña’s (matriarchs) who have taught her unforgettable and tasty recipes. While Latin America is a vast\, culture-rich land\, and it would be impossible to finish this journey in one session\, but Paola will make sure to pique your curiosity about Latin American cuisine when exploring the importance of ingredients and flavours in traditional dishes of Latinx people.\n\nRSPV here \n\n\n\nAcknowledgments\nThis event is being hosted on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples.
