EAWLC Foodies Group: Tasting Cultures in Cuisines

If you know a good restaurant from your culture, or any restaurant you really like, in Toronto or near vicinities, please kindly share with us!

East and West Learning Connections initiated the Foodies Group in 2024 for its registered members, volunteers, and guest speakers. Group members, coming from different cultural backgrounds, are encouraged to take turns to lead an outing to a restaurant of their choice, and if possible, to think of ways to enhance the experience for the group culturally.  For example, they may share knowledge or stories related to the food/culture, or try to arrange for a cooking demo, etc.

Record of Our Outings

Sunday September 29, 2024 at 5:30 P.M.
Led by member Martin Copeland. He pre-selected a variety of food so everyone got to enjoy a sampling of several traditional Jewish dishes, which were put together in a special menu beautifully prepared by the restaurant as a souvenir for us! We also got to hear interesting family stories right before the Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year starting on October 3, 2024).
