Description

Calling all Wilderness Union foodies!

This month is all about bold flavours, cooking something a little outside your usual rotation, and coming together over good food. The idea stays the same: each month, we choose a cookbook, everyone cooks a different recipe from it, and then we all bring our dishes to share at a potluck.

For January, we’re diving into the bold, vibrant world of Indian cuisine with Vij’s Indian by Vikram Vij and Meeru Dhalwala. The book brings the flavours of Vij’s iconic Vancouver restaurant into home kitchens, with dishes that are rich, comforting, and full of personality. Expect warming spices, layered sauces, and recipes that feel special without being intimidating.

From fragrant curries and vegetable-forward plates to hearty meat dishes and unexpected flavour combinations, this is a great chance to explore Indian cooking beyond the usual takeout favourites. It is perfect if you want to try new techniques, play with spices, or finally cook that dish you always order but never make yourself.

Whether you’re already a fan of Indian food or curious to learn more, come cook, share, and connect with fellow WU food lovers over a seriously good meal.

This is a no-pressure, beginner-friendly club! There are simple recipes to choose from and easy ingredient swaps if needed.

Please note that this is a member-organized event.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
