It’s a surreal climate that we’re currently in, one that’s non-discriminating and is impacting the entire world in a way that we’ve not quite experienced. Countries have closed or are closing their borders, citizens forced to self-isolate and we’re channelled into a way of living that’s now slowly becoming the ‘new norm’.
It saddens me greatly to see so many businesses closing down and jobs lost. The impact of the Coronavirus has such a large ripple on effect on not just individuals, but families and the societies we live in as a whole. It’s now time to recognise how greatly dependant we are on each other, and how intertwined our lives really are. It’s my hope that this pandemic serves as a wake-up call to humankind, to not take things for granted, to appreciate the littlest things and to truly treasure one another. We simply cannot live on bread alone, but we have to thrive on the togetherness that makes us human.
I believe that if we all did our part, we can come out of this with grace and strength. As part of home.cook.love’s give back to supporting the Food and Beverage industry that’s being hit hard at this time, I’ve put together a list of restaurants, cafes and food businesses across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane who’re still open for delivery and take-away.
You may find your favourite cafe or restaurant on this list, or even if they aren’t, this is a great time to check out other fabulous food businesses and add them to your list of good ol’ favs. Or if you know of a place that’s still open for delivery or takeaway, please email me at hello@homecooklove.com and I’ll add them to the list!
Let’s do our part and support these beautiful businesses who’re still working hard to keep our palates entertained, protect jobs, keep their livelihood, and most importantly, they are helping us to realise and appreciate that we still do have some of life’s little luxuries in these trying times.
