She cooks for free for those who struggle to make ends meet in Val-d'Oise

“Not haute cuisine, but housewife cooking, simple things that can be eaten hot or cold,” she sums up. All this, to distribute them free of charge to strangers, via a dedicated Facebook group called Food Solidarité – Agglomération Cergy-Pontoise, “because you don't have to be very poor to have difficulty paying for a full tank of races”. “At first, it was simply for my son's friends, who don't always have a snack after school,” recalls Valinda, 42 years old.
