Calling all Wilderness Union foodies!
This will be our last Cooking Club potluck of the year, and it’s the perfect cozy end-of-year gathering to share a great meal together! We’ll be exploring Kapusta: Vegetable-Forward Recipes from Eastern Europe by Alissa Timoshkina, with the option to bring any dessert of your choice.
Kapusta (which means “cabbage” in many Slavic languages) celebrates five humble vegetables key to the region: cabbage, beetroot, potato, carrot and mushrooms. The cookbook honours a philosophy of cooking with affordability, seasonality, sustainability and, above all, great flavour at its heart. You’ll find a diversity of Eastern European culinary DNA in dishes like Cabbage Strudel, Vegan and Beef Borsch, Potato Babka, Pierogi, Tzimmes Carrot Cake, Bulgarian Mushroom and Walnut Pâté, and a range of sauerkrauts.
Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just curious to try something new, come share and connect with fellow WU food lovers over a seriously delicious meal.
This is a no-pressure, beginner-friendly club. Just bring your dish that's ready to serve and enjoy!
Please note that this is a member-organized event.
