UTM International Education Centre and Hart House co-present a multi-session journey to explore and expand our understanding of how food informs culture, and wellness. Each session will be an interactive conversation, led by a food and culture expert who will share a recipe that is significant to their culture and personal history. 

Students, staff and faculty from all U of T campuses are encouraged to join us to explore the many ways food teaches us about culture and how food creates community, while also learning a tasty recipe and skills to help you in the kitchen. No previous knowledge or experience required.

Sessions are 1-hour long and will include recipe share, open discussion, cooking tips and tricks.
