INTERFAITH COOKING CLASSES: A VIDEO PROJECT
One of the joys of doing interfaith work is the opportunity to host pot-luck events, where we all get to share our favorite dishes from our faith, our heritage, or perhaps just a beloved cookbook. Whether it be homemade chicken biryani for a Ramadan iftar, matzah ball soup for Passover, or home-baked Christmas cookies, food is always the connector that brings us all together.
Sadly, this year we have lost some of those opportunities to cook for each other and share our favorite dishes in person. In the meantime, however, we still can share our favorite dishes virtually! Please join Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice and Muslim Women of Madison in a series of on-line cooking classes. We invite you to share your favorite dish and teach us how to make it. Simply choose a dish that you love to make, take your smart phone or other device, and record yourself walking us through, step by step, how to make your dish.

Guidelines for creating a video:
- Use whatever video-recording device you have handy: camera, smartphone, tablet, etc.
- If you are sheltering with one or more companions, ask one of them to operate the device so that you can focus on cooking.
- If you are sheltering alone, put the device on a stack of books or whatever you have so that the camera points at what you are making.
- If your dish requires a lot of preparation (such as chopping, dicing, measuring, etc.), complete the preliminary steps ahead of time and have everything ready to assemble for the video. Explain what steps you took, but do not take the time to, for example, chop five different vegetables on video.
- If your dish requires baking/roasting or other cooking time, instruct the viewer in what they need to do, and then have a completed dish ready to show.
- Describe what you are doing as you go.
- Cook away and enjoy!
How to post your video:
- Send your video to Rabbi Bonnie Margulis: wifaithvoices4justice@gmail.com
- If your file is small enough, you may be able to send it simply as an email attachment.
- If your file is too large to email, place it in a cloud storage space—Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, iCloud, etc.—and share it with Rabbi Bonnie so that she can transfer it to her own computer.
- Once Rabbi Bonnie has the video, she will upload it to the Wisconsin Faith Voices YouTube channel, the WFVJ Facebook page, and the Faith Leaders Building Community, Standing Together group page on Facebook.
