For our Newcomer Kitchen cooking event #2 Product to Market we had two opportunities to share some cheer with valued co-workers or inspirational leaders.
Newcomer Kitchen had created two different “Employee Appreciation Gift Bags” filled with yummy goodies from our “Willing to Work” Facilitated Entrepreneurship Program for newcomer women wanting to start their own food businesses. These meaningful gifts also to celebrate International Women's Day have the added impact of support as they make their way into a new life. “Willing to Work” is an IRCC funded program and all the proceeds of these bags goes directly to the trainees.
The bags were Sold Out in a few days last week!
It was a fun-filled two days of hands-on experiential learning and production...
Here is Farideh whipping up her crispy and chewy Persian raisin cookies.
Deeelish...
Beautifully lined up like ducks in a row!
Crunchy, refreshing and pretty! Can be eaten by the handfuls as a snack or after dinner mouth freshner, especially having enjoyed a meal with strong flavours like garlic.
What is Belkis making?
Arranging the slices onto individual decorative wax paper then into a small sushi box.
This was a two plus women job! We are making Pakistani Plum and Almond Chutney.
Afterwards, the pitted soft plums are cooked with spices, blanched whole almonds and melon seeds for a sweet and savoury desi chutney. Sonia is the curator of this gorgeous big batch!
To cool quickly, the huge pot of chutney is poured into shallow pans then chilled.
I always love the team work when everyone gathers to support eachother's final plating/packaging!
To compliment the chutney, we have Nimkin- a cumin-studded pastry dough, fried until crunchy. More team work :)!
Turkish Tiny Savouries complete our 7th offering in our Mosaic Mamas bag!
These are simple cookies that are salty and bespeckled with black and white sesame seeds.
Over to the dining area to package and label everything and to rest the weary feet for a bit.
All hands on deck for assembly line final packaging in our nifty client gift bags!
Setting up in the order of placement in the bags for efficient and speedy expediting!
Excellent production and team work!
