On October 11, 2025, X Helping Hands hosted a lively Fusion Food Cooking Workshop at the Antigonish Town & County Library, led by facilitator Neeti Bhatnagar. Community members rolled up their sleeves to make chickpea cheesy sliders and a colorful chaat board, learning simple techniques while swapping stories and laughter. The free, hands-on session brought together newcomers and long-time residents to cook, taste, and connect, plates filled quickly and conversations flowed even faster. We wrapped up the afternoon with shared bites, recipes to try at home, and big smiles.
