Syrian inspired cooking event with Chef Cosmo Meens

Cook Culture is hosting a special Syrian food event in support of the Gordon Head Refugee Sponsorship Group. If you love food and cooking, you are probably already familiar with the cooking classes and demonstration events they offer.

This event will be a Chef’s demonstration of how to make a Syrian inspired menu… but this is better than watching a cooking show, because after Chef Meens works his magic with the demonstration, the audience will get to eat a full meal and enjoy a glass of wine!

Check out the mouthwatering menu:

MENU:

  • Addas bi Husrem –lentil parsley soup
  • Ojji –Syrian omelette
  • Hummus – chick peas dip
  • Baba Ganouj – eggplant dip
  • Kafta Kebab – lamb and beef skewer
  • Sayadieh – fish with spiced rice and caramelized onions
  • Harisi – semolina cake

Demonstration only

3 hours

*Come hungry, a full meal and wine will be served 

$100 per ticket

Big Band, Big Generosity!

What a great night! Thanks to Keith Fraser and the Big Band of the Greater Victoria Concert Band for fantastic night. We were literally dancing in the aisles … and that was before we found out how much we raised!

Our donations at the door and the refreshment stand (thanks 4th Bay to Bay Brownies and Sparks!) brought in a whopping $1,423.40!

Add to that total the matching contribution from Raymond James, Ltd, and an additional $5,000 in support from them, and that makes for a successful night!

Thanks 2 Burley Men Moving and Hauling!

2 Burley Men Moving and Hauling has donated a van and 2 movers help us move donations from the Donation Days to the house we have rented for our family.

They were slated for three hours work, but went far above and beyond what was promised, staying to help us set the furniture in place, and lending a hand with our project.

Thanks so much, Lex and Warren from 2 Burley Men!!
