GUESS WHAT'S COMING FOR DINNER!: A Cooking Retreat/Workshop
Monday, November 6-Thursday, November 9, 2023
Once upon a time, up in the cold north, there was an elderly widower who grew quite fond of making a different soup each night of the week. You wouldn't believe what edible riches and delights the winter months provide for the pot on the stove. Come and spend a week of learning and fun in the monastery kitchen. Taste and see how good different veggies go together with legumes, with rice, with squash, mushrooms, breads...you get the idea!
