Spoiled+for+Choice+at+Christmas!

The U3A “Cooking Classes of the World” students created a banquet of international dishes for their annual Christmas party, hosted by their teacher, Lynne MacMillan. Everybody was keen to showcase their cooking skills and contributed a variety of dishes, from all corners of the globe. The shared feast was followed by a Kris Kringle exchange of gifts, all relating to the joy of cooking and eating!

The class agreed 2013 had been a wonderful culinary journey across a wide variety of cuisines including Hawaiian, Moroccan, Thai, Portuguese, Sri Lankan, Japanese and French Canadian. Other highlights included trips to southern France, Turkey and Bali, where U3A members indulged in serious shopping, cooking, eating and touring.

There are more cookery experiences on offer from U3A in 2014. If you are keen to try new and exciting cuisines in small ‘hands on’ cooking groups, or participate in other food experiences, why not join U3A.
