Hands-on Kitchen workshops

We are incredibly pleased to announce a new series of kitchen workshops.

Long-time volunteer and amazing chef, Danny Guarino, is as excited as we are to teach cooking techniques and delicious recipes focused around seasonal or local veggies – and offer them specifically to low-income individuals who may not have access to other cooking workshops or classes.

• When: Every second Thursday evening from 5pm – 7:30pm, beginning the 27th of September.
• Where: Santropol Roulant’s kitchen at 111 Roy east, corner of Coloniale.
• For whom: Anyone who self-identifies as low-income, and who wants to sharpen their food skills and learn more about cooking in a fun group setting. It is possible to bring along a child of 12 years or older. To attend you must sign up.
• Cost: Free for the full 6-session series.  Participants will share a meal and also take a portion home.

Please note that this workshop series is designed for attendees to participate to all 6 workshops. You cannot sign up for only one class, nor do we recommend that you do so.

For more information or to sign up, please contact Rachel by email or by phone at 514-284-9335.

It may be possible to accommodate your diet ex. vegetarian, Halal, etc.
