Starters:

• Fava: yellow split pea purée with capers and red onion, served with lagana (sesame flatbread) similar to focaccia.

Main course:

• Souvlaki skewers with tzatziki

This is one of our favourite temples to visit. It is located along a stretch of No. 5 Road between Blundell and Steveston Highway in an area known as the “Road to Heaven”.

Schedule: We will meet in the information centre, which is in the courtyard. Temple tour at 11am sharp followed by Q&A and lunch, by donation. It will take up 5 minutes to walk from the temporary parking area which is 200M away from the temple toward Blundell.

We will not be collecting funds as this is a by donation event. Usual donation is $10 and up. Despite this, those cancelling at the last minute or no-showing will be asked to pay $10 to cover the cost of groceries bought for them by the temple.

All items will be vegan, but no menu is given in advance. Imagine you are a monk or nun, graciously accepting what is offered. You can accept the ones you want and politely decline others.

This is an event for people who want to learn to cook dishes from around the world! Everyone who signs up for the event, including guests, will bring a different homemade French dish to share with the others. Links to great vegan French recipes can be found at the bottom of this description!

Please bring a vegan dish, with at least 8 servings (=8 big scoops). Vegan means no dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, whey/casein, or other animal byproducts. Please bring an ingredients list for your dish and include your name and the name of the dish.

Also, please bring a plate, cup, napkin, and cutlery for yourself, and a serving utensil for your dish. (a bag for your dirty dishes would be useful, too).

Confirmed Dish List (more to come):
Jon: Pâté en Croûte (terrine pie)
Nancy: Quiche Lorraine
Norm: Mushroom Bourguignon
Melissa: Crème Brûlée
Tina: Butternut Squash Soup

To ensure that we each bring a different dish, I will be contacting all attendees. If you have a favourite vegan French recipe, we'd love to try it! If you need inspiration, you could try something from one of these websites (beware that not all recipes on these sites are vegan, so check the ingredients):
