Kim’s cooking influenced by her Maltese background

Kim D’Angelis is OCAV’s Volunteer Coordinator. One of her favourite memories is her nunna Vinnie cooking Sunday lunch.

“She used to make Qarabali Mimli for the whole family on Sundays for lunch. She had nine children and a lot of grandchildren and whoever popped in to their north Melbourne home on a Sunday she would feed! It didn’t matter how many, she always had enough...."
