Second week into my partnership with TDSB Newcomer Services to teach a weekly After-School Virtual Cook Along program to high school students new to Canada until end of school year. The goal is to impart kitchen skills and food literacy, while honouring multicultural cuisines using both pantry and fresh produce to get dishes prepared in time to serve dinner for families in 1-1/2 hours π©π³π¨π³π€π₯!
About last night... Happy Sikh Heritage Month with Indian Chicken Tikka Masala, Fluffy Basmati Rice and Wilted Spinach Raita!
Our first after school cooking class with youths last week was with a North African origin dish Skillet Egg Shakshouka (tomato sauce based with garlic, onions and spices), triple protein enhanced with chickpeas and beef meatballs, and homemade garlic bread for tomato sauce soppingπ·!
The age of independence should come equipped with skills to fend for oneself and thrive. Cooking skills is a life skill. Knowing how to Shop Smart is an important skill to have. I look forward to share everything I know to help youths learn to cook and eat better for a healthier tomorrow πͺπ₯¦π₯π₯π.
Can't wait to celebrate Asian and Jewish heritage month of May with more deliciousness!
