The other is Milani Thompson, who tutors the class in a purely voluntary capacity to give back to the community that embraced her and her family a few years ago and has taken it upon herself to produce a Recipes for One cookbook, drawing on Vic as her inspiration and using many ideas from her homeland of South Africa in the delicious dishes therein.
Milani sprang the surprise of the cookbook and presented Vic with the first one at his recent birthday party. There are copies available for a reasonable charge at Artisan Cafe, Tutanekai St.
The U3A Cooking for One class, which started in 2011, is primarily for those who are left alone to cook for themselves.
That can be a challenge if you've cooked for a family prior.
