Welcome Spring and welcome back to Newcomer Kitchen! After months of staying home (and holding classes on Zoom!) we are back in the kitchen and so excited to bring you a yummy dinner from our team of great cooks, Sultana’s Kitchen.  The Sultana’s Kitchen (Sultana is queen in Arabic) is a group of 6 women who are learning how to start their own food businesses through our Entrepreneurship Training Program funded by the federal government department IRCC. 100% of the proceeds of the sale of the dinners go directly to the women participants. This is the final event of their training and we hope you enjoy their special dishes.

Each meal is a dinner for two so there is not so much packaging.You can order a half & half to try both main dishes!

Beet Salad‎‎

The sweetness of the beets and the saltiness of the feta combine into a balanced, colorful and delicious salad, which is a perfect accompaniment to any dish. Beets have been known to be used in many different ways due to its health benefits, as pickles in the winter, to salads in the summer. Their vibrant color also reminds our participants of fond memories of their childhood days helping in the kitchen with the beets, and then using their dyed hands for finger paintings. |VG| |GF|
