One of the things that makes Intention fun and unique and helps build community is that we share, cook, and eat healthy meals together.
This year we’ll be offering a self-serve brunch (e.g., cereals, fruit, snacks, etc.) and freshly cooked dinners on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (brunch only).
Meals will be vegetarian with vegan options and either gluten-free or with gluten-free options. Though all meals are planned as gluten-free, they may not meet the standards required for celiacs or people with severe intolerances.
Please feel free to bring your own scrumptious food (snacks, desserts) and drinks (remember to try to bring all your own water and other beverage needs for the weekend). A small selection of teas will be available, but coffee is considered a treat and personal item and will not be provided. Thus, please bring your own favorite beans (already ground is ideal).
A separate kitchen space will be available for anyone that wants to bring and cook their own food, including meat, or with special cooking or dietary requirements.
Please bring your own cup, bowl, plate, and cutlery. A dish washing station will be available for you to wash them. Some dishes will be available for people who can't or don’t bring any, but we won't know how many in advance.
Please DO NOT bring any items with ANISE/FENNEL/LICORICE as one of our attendees has a life-threatening allergy to them. They are commonly found in Fisherman's Friends, chai tea, other teas, curries, and mixed spices. Attendees may be advised prior to the event of other please DO NOT bring items (e.g., peanuts).
A lot of hands are needed with Kitchen Pod for meal preparation, cooking, and cleaning. Don’t worry, it is fun and rewarding! We are specifically looking for volunteers to help with one or more meals during the event. As a leader, co-lead, or support, you should be responsible, a good communicator, familiar with cooking, able to follow a recipe, and good at giving or receiving direction to ensure tasks are completed.
If you feel called or are interested in serving the community with Kitchen Pod or you have any questions or comments, then please email kitchen[at]intentiongathering[dot]org
