What a great evening! It’s Saturday night in the spacious kitchen of the Ulm Family Education Centre. It smells delicious and tempting. The potatoes are steaming away in the steamers and the veg meat is roasting in the oven. Young women and men are cutting vegetables and kneading dough. We’re in the middle of the second ASSIST cooking event and we’re taking a look inside some of the pots.
