Lilian's Kitchen

Self-care is essential whilst we battle stage 4 restrictions in Victoria at the moment and we are all coming up with new ways to look after ourselves and learn something new. 

Our very own Lilian Ndarukwa has recently cooked up Chakalaka, a South African dish and it looks delicious.
