People take turns shopping and demonstrating how to cook their favourite recipes. It’s an opportunity to learn new recipes, make new friends, practice speaking English and learn about other cultures. Cooking in bulk together also is a great way to save money.
Program Features
- Everyone is welcome especially newcomers! It’s a fun way to learn and share skills and knowledge about cooking and you don’t have be a good cook to join. To learn more about the program check out our Newsletter, the Nibbler. Click here to see latest edition.
