Menna's Delight - Potluck 2024

 

Hi everyone!

I am excited to announce that we will be having a potluck at my place in Trivandrum, Kerala on 16^th March 2024 11:00 am.

I have conducted the first Potluck at 2016 which many of my old students have attended and I cannot wait to see all of you again.

Just a quick reminder: a potluck means that each person brings a small dish to share, while I will take care of the main dish. It is a wonderful way to experience a variety of cuisines and enjoy a meal together.

 Also want to keep this event a little more meaningful way. Apart from bringing food for the potluck, try to bring a food pack to give to a needy at Medical College area. This is just optional for those who has time to make such a pack

There will be 2 speakers at this event to give you more ideas to grown your business to next level, all are welcome to share their experience in this journey of baking and cooking

Most welcome to all my outstation students who would like to attend this potluck, I can provide you stay and food at my place.

I know this date will be difficult for many who are doing fasting at this time and School exams but why I choose this date is, our ever-loved Kanika from Andamans is visiting Trivandrum so thought of a get-together at this time

Please add your name along with the dish you plan to bring in the list below:

1.    Marina Charles – Vegetable Pulao and Chicken Mappas

2.    [Student 1's Name] - Appetizer (e.g., pickles, raita,papadam)
