Home chef Natacha Gomez is combining sweet pineapple with coconut flakes and raisins for her sweet and savory stuffing.

“This will give you a one-way ticket to the Caribbean to experience what we really like," said Gomez, who immigrated from Haiti to Crown Heights over a decade ago.

But cooking savory and sizzling meals is more than just her day job.

“I feel like it’s a hug I’m giving them. Just to say someone is thinking about them. I hope that they feel that, they feel the love," she said.

Gomez has the freedom to share the love through the delivery service WoodSpoon. It connects New Yorkers with fresh, homemade meals, whipped together by home chefs.

Gomez started working for WoodSpoon during the pandemic, just as the food delivery service teamed up with the Kings Bay Y, offering free meals to Holocaust survivors living in Brooklyn.

“We know from that moment, that person can forget all his problems and focus on the food and the taste of the food,” Gomez said.

Her food will certainly transport you to the Caribbean. Spinach salad with homemade croutons, roasted chicken with shallots and spices, fried rice with pumpkin and tomatoes, and sweet empanadas.

Gomez always writes a special note for the Holocaust survivor to go along with the meal.

“I always end everything that I say or do with ‘keep cooking with love,’” said Gomez.

This homemade meal will now travel 11 miles from Crown Heights to Manhattan Beach.

81-year-old Svetlana Fidel was eager to dig in to her free meal. She immigrated to Brooklyn from Ukraine 25 years ago and spoke to us through a translator.

“I never ever imagined that I would receive hot food that I can eat right away. I didn’t imagine it would be this nice," said Fidel, who was born in 1940 during World War II. When the Nazi’s invaded, she and her family fled to Siberia.

“When we left Ukraine, we were on the train and I was so hungry that I was screaming. People were crying seeing me so starved,” said Fidel.

Although she was young, Fidel said the trauma she endured still impacts her to this day.

“Some people can throw out the food they don’t finish. Since I was a child, I can never throw anything out. I appreciate every piece of food."

And although she and Gomez have never met, Fidel says she feels a strong connection with her.

“I feel like it’s made with love. It’s presented so nicely and neatly on the plate. I feel the love.”
