Purchase a cookbook and support the work of the Ottawa Ethno-Cultural Seniors Network

Learning to cook new and exciting foods is like taking a mini vacation from the comfort of your home. Cuisine is one of the easiest and most interesting ways to explore and celebrate cultures. And that’s what this book is for.

Whether you cook seasonally, are on a budget, or eat plant-based, there’s something here to inspire every reader. Armed with bold flavours and accessible ingredients, each recipe is designed for the home chef who wants to expand their cooking horizons and impress their family and friends.

These recipes are from seniors in Ottawa, who celebrate their immigrant background with traditional dishes inspired by years of cooking, life experience and a large helping of personality.

The Ottawa Ethno-Cultural Seniors Network helps support isolated seniors in their community through free mental health webinars on healthy aging and culturally appropriate dementia care, online activities, food deliveries and so much more. With your purchase, we can support their important work and help build stronger communities together.
