Nicolás Cocina
The Anglo Chilean Society is supporting one of our youngest supporters to raise money.
This is Nicolás' story:
​
"I am Nicolás and I am 11 years old. I have been baking for as long as I can remember.
I enjoy baking because I like making people happy with my food.
​
My Dad is Chilean and my Mum is British/Belgian. I live in the UK and my Dad lives in Chile. Coronavirus has meant that I haven't been able to see him this year. Whilst this has been difficult, I know that others in Chile have been very badly affected and so I decided to write a book. As a way to help, and as a way to feel more connected with my Dad and my birth country.
​
Touched by one particular Chilean family, who have, since March, found it difficult to put food on the table, I chose a charity who are helping lots of families in the same boat. I hope that in inspiring you to cook, I can also inspire you to donate!
​
The recipes in my book tell the story of me. Section one contains Chilean classics that I have grown up with (Tres Leches, Empanadas, Roscas and others!). Section two contains recipes inspired by people I love. In section three, I have included some of the things I enjoy baking."

My chosen charity is
Fundación Origen

Not only that, but they also source their produce direct from small farmers, thereby helping at the supply side as well.
