Happy Solstice! With the arrival of summer, a week of sunshine ahead and the city warming up to an exciting new season what better time to order a meal (maybe with some friends or family) and eat al fresco. This dinner’s offerings are full of flavour from warm places and fresh salads. A moist and delicious cake full of coconut and topped with pistachios to finish.

This semester’s team of AMAZING women come from Morocco, India, Nigeria, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia!! Which is amazing in itself. Working together to make a fusion menu for you to enjoy has been half the fun. This meal is NOT to be missed.

The team has called themselves Tasty Cultures and this is what they have to say about themselves: We are a group of culturally diverse newcomer women who are passionate about quality food and sharing our culture through the delicious food we make. We use authentic and hearty recipes full of flavours from back home and offer love and comfort with each bite.
