If you’re a young carer with one or both parents born in a different country, we would love for you to share a meal with us!

From banh mi to curry, we’re filling a cookbook with our CaLD young carers favourite world recipes which represent how their family’s culture influences the food that they eat. We are especially interested in meals that your family loves to share, either for an everyday meal or a special occasion.

Simply send in one or more recipes and a registration form to youngcarers@carerswa.asn.au during Harmony Week, Thursday 15^th to Wednesday 21^st March 2018. If you can, please also send in a photo of each meal!
