But what makes her venture extra special is that the profits go towards her privately run animal sanctuary in Gampaha.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">This refuge houses displaced and abandoned cats and dogs \u2013 and in one instance, memorably, three cows that were saved from slaughter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cI do not publicise this, because I can only cope with so many. I have about 50 animals as it is, and that\u2019s as much as we can look after and finance,\u201d she tells us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Lorraine, a veteran animal welfare activist began working actively in the area back in 1969 with an English lady called Bridget Hicks. Together, they began focusing on sterilisation since this wasn\u2019t a well known concept at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">The pair formed a society called the Ceylon Animal Protection Society (CAPS) with Bridget functioning as the President and Lorraine the Secretary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">CAPS rented out kennels, which were in fact rooms, at the Animal Hospital on Murugan Place (Colombo 6). This was unfortunately burnt down in the riots. \u201cWe also did free sterilisation of cats and dogs for people who couldn\u2019t afford it,\u201d she adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Lorraine explains that sterilisation for community cats and dogs to reduce the stray population in the country, is the only humane way of doing it. As opposed to rounding them up and sending them to the dog pound for gassing (which was the practice at that time)<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Unfortunately, Bridget Hicks had to leave the country with her husband after a while. Thereafter, Lorraine attempted to carry on for a while by herself, but it wasn\u2019t the same. Soon after, she began doing her animal welfare work privately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">In 2009, she brought together a group of animal-friendly people. Together, they formed the Sri Lanka Animal Protection Association, which carried on the work of CAPS.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_415682\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50075\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Dutch-Burgher-Kitchen-lends-a-hand-to-support-the-four-legged-kind-\u2013-By-Sashini-Rodrigo-and-Joshua-Surendraraj.jpg\" alt=\"Dutch Burgher Kitchen lends a hand to support the four-legged kind\" width=\"320\" height=\"257\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Some Dutch Burgher Kitchen offerings.

In fact once she finished her employment, Lorraine didn\u2019t want to go back to working for anybody. So she asked her mother to train her in the art of making the traditional lamprais. This was the birth of the Dutch Burgher Kitchen. \u201cJust me and my faithful Amme, and Mum supervising us,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Lorraine respects the Burgher recipes she works with and sticks rigidly to what was being done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Her lamprais is the only exception since she also has to have versions of chicken and vegetarian. \u201cMy mother would have a fit about it if she knows!\u201d she tells us with a grin . But she also prepares the traditional Lamprais which is made with the three meats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">If things go well, Lorraine also plans to include a traditionally-made beef smore, the bread and butter pudding and perhaps a bol fiado and Christmas pudding (during the season) on the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cIt\u2019s an expensive exercise but I\u2019m hopeful that in 2021, business might boom a little more.\u201d Lorraine tells us. \u201cUntil then, I know that God will take care of us,\u201d she tells us whilst talking about her animals.<\/span><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5123580823957590\" data-ad-slot=\"7875984934\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dutch Burgher Kitchen lends a hand to support the four-legged kind By Sashini Rodrigo and Joshua Surendraraj &nbsp; Source:-sundaytimessundaytimes Growing up in a Burgher household meant one was always surrounded by good food, and the recipes were treasured heirlooms handed down for generations.
