About this event
With the resounding success of last year’s SOLD OUT online cookalongs, we are launching another fantastic collection of online cooking sessions for everyone to enjoy!
Expect incredible comforting home-cooked dishes from Libya, Peru, Egypt, Bangladesh and Syria, with enthusiastic, knowledgeable and skilled teachers guiding you through each step!
This year we are working with six learners who wished to challenge themselves with their English language and presentation skills, by leading participants through a home-cooked dish that they love and are proud of.

TODAY’S COOKALONG:
Kulecha served with Anjeer Milkshake
Traditional Kurdish date & walnut cookies served with a cooling dried fig milkshake
By Gashin Abdullah
A bit about Gashin
My name is Gashin Abdullah ,I was born in Sulimani, Iraqi Kurdistan. I have finished high school in Kurdistan .
I have 2 children both boys and I have been in the UK for 15 years. I lived in Bury for 6 years before that I used to live in Old Trafford, Manchester .
I like cooking and baking very much and making cultural food so I would like to explore different foods from different countries.
I studied at Bury Adult Learning Centre for 3 years.
Traditionally made for big events, you’ll soon find any excuse to celebrate once you have your first bite of the kulecha! An irresistible sweet treat teamed with the creamy fig milkshake is the ideal way to feed that sweet tooth.
Join us to learn something new, hear more about Gashin and her life, and about Heart & Parcel and meet new people!
