Neighbour and food guru Aruna Handa is offering five lunchtime labs about food beginning this Friday at nearby Centre for Social Innovation.
Here's the scoop:
"Philosophy of Food Lab
At each lab, we will discuss five ingredients, & sample dishes featuring them. You will leave knowing where to find them, how to prepare them and with a recipe or two drawing from both old and new world cuisines. The samples would satisfy a modest appetite as lunch; many of us would likely want to bring along a little something extra.
