This workshop embraces culinary diversity through merging the richness of Latin American flavours with a fusion of Canadian culinary influences.

What we will do together

The facilitators will lead an exciting and enlightening multicultural dialogue about where our food comes from, how we can eat better, and the important role food and food preparation plays in culture.

Understand how the diversity of food and food production in different cultures reduces racism through appreciation of the many ways that food is produced, including how it gets to our table.

Vegan Mac 'n Cheez

Friendly Mac ‘n Cheez

 

 Love Mac ‘n’ Cheese?

Vegan Mac 'n Cheez

We love Mac ‘n Cheese and wanted to come up with a good vegan recipe. The Outlaws collaborated on this dish. It was Carrot Rick’s idea to use squash but Cashew Sue insisted on adding Cashew Cream cheez.

Friendly Vegan Mac ‘n Cheez

The combination of these two equals an amazing pasta dish that even cheese loving people will be asking for seconds.

When we served this up to three young men, who all love cheesy, oozy, gooey Mac ‘n’ cheese. They said and we quote “This is amazing” and “This Mac and Cheez is delicious, holy Moses.” This dish is soooo gooood. That is why we recommend you keep your fork handy, ‘cause you may need to fight off your dinner mates.

Guilt-free French Toast

Good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner

We love French toast, but we wanted to create a version without egg, and this is what we came up with for a fabulous breakfast. It tastes fantastic and can be eaten with syrup and fruit, or as the coating for a scrumptious veggie sandwich. If you want to use this as a coating for a fried vegetable sandwich just replace the vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg with seasoning of your choice.

This is so good, we often like to serve it as dinner. We just add some veggie sausages cooked with maple syrup and voila a fabulous and fun dinner.

No Beef Dip

Today we made No Beef Dip. It was a huge success and everyone loved it! Instead of beef we used portobello mushrooms which we roasted with a little bit of olive oil, garlic and some secret ingredients. Then we sliced it fine and served it up with caramelized onion on a wonderful toasted seed bun. The dip was a savory and delicious vegetarian dip made with some of our secret ingredients.

A long time ago, when we were carnivorous, we enjoyed a beef dip every now and again. We were thinking that it would be nice to have a similar, but more animal friendly, and much healthier version of the old fashion beef dip. So we came up with No Beef Dip. It is made with succulent and meaty Portobello mushrooms that have been lovingly roasted. The dip is delicious and nutritious and it too is made from mushrooms. Once you try our No Beef Dip, you just might faint from pure pleasure. To make a full meal, you could add some mashed potatoes and salad. If you just want to eat No Beef Dip, then you might want to double up the recipe.
