apotofcourage.com.au\/store<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nA Pot of Courage founder and coordinator Shiree Pilkinton said the first lockdown allowed her team to assess viable options to continue, and after some brainstorming, the dinner packs launched last week, allowing people to feel as if they\u2019ve gone to a restaurant, without leaving their house.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are two serves in each pack, then people add what they like. If you buy the Malaysian beef rendang, you might pair it with steamed veggies, flatbread, or rice, so it\u2019s an easy dinner. Lilly Wright is a star baker, so we have some quite decadent desserts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a few volunteers supporting the paid staff, helping with deliveries. There are layers of complexity with COVID, so we\u2019re extra careful and strict in the kitchen with practices, hand hygiene, and making sure the deliverers are wearing masks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re taking it step-by-step to minimise risk to keep marginalised women employed and keep going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Malaysian migrant, Lilly Wright joined A Pot of Courage last year when she moved to Ballarat from Melbourne.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love doing this. I do have my own business, so I\u2019ve gone through all the steps to start that and I\u2019m ready to teach other women how to run their business as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re a woman with a migrant and refugee background and want to do something for yourself, run a successful business and take it seriously, you need to share it with someone, so that\u2019s why I got to know Shiree.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt helps you spread your wings in the Ballarat community. I really appreciate people following this because it can\u2019t happen without their support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two years ago, Ms Pilkinton was teaching migrant women through Women\u2019s Health Grampians and collaborated with them on a book project, It Takes Courage: sharing secret recipes and stories from our homelands<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cThey all have amazing cooking skills, and many had worked in hospitality in their homeland.<\/p>\n
\u201cI suggested that instead of applying for job after job, they could create their own income, and do that by doing what they love to do, and do best,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s how A Pot of Courage began, with catering and a few cooking classes. We had a pop-up caf\u00e9 at Ballarat Community Health at Lucas, and then we had an opportunity to move into the space at Barkly Square.\u201d<\/p>\n
A range of spices are available at the online store, and a range of artisanal pieces and homewares are gradually appearing on the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
