Local charity Cooking Champions invite you to a feast of Mexican cuisine on 3rd May, celebrating not just a historic battle south of the border, but most importantly their own fifth anniversary.
The Cinco de Mayo Supper Club is the first of five celebratory events, each featuring a different cuisine from around the world.
This time it's Mexican - Cinco de Mayo, celebrated by Mexicans both in their home country and in the USA, marks the victory of the Mexican army over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on 5th May 1862 (though note that Cooking Champions will be celebrating the 5th of May two days early, so make sure you put it in your diary on the right date!)
Cooking Champions, launched during the pandemic, are based in a church in Ponders End. They cook delicious and nutritious food for hungry people, and deliver it to their homes or invite them to free community lunches. On top of that, they teach people cooking skills, let them use the Cooking Champions kitchen, provide cooking lessons to school kids and run the catering at Enfield Town Football Club.
They're always on the lookout for new volunteers and for donations. Truly a worthy cause!
