Cooking by the Calendar: A Tasty Tour of Traditions
Lettuce turnip the beet and explore how cultures around the world celebrate—with food as the guest of honour!
From sweet treats to savoury bites, holidays are full of must-have dishes that bring people together. In this hands-on, taste-test-friendly experience, students will explore fall and winter celebrations like Eid, Diwali, Christmas, Hanukkah, Day of the Dead, and more—through food, stories, and interactive stations.
Expect a mix of baking, discussion, and discovery as we stir up conversations about how people celebrate in Grey County and beyond. Students will leave with full bellies and fuller minds—plus a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity.
We’re happy to customize the program to suit your class. Reach out to start planning!
Booking for two classes? Some portions may be teacher-led to keep things flowing smoothly.
Can’t make it this season? Spring brings a fresh batch of celebrations to explore—Easter, Eid, Passover, Holi, Nowruz, Cinco de Mayo, and Songkran.
Cost is $10 plus HST per student. Teachers and other school support staff are complimentary.
