Kudos to Carissa, Ayanna, Claire, and our Teachers and students for an amazing program, and thank you to all the families who attended and brought delicious dishes!  Among the many lovely sentiments about why the dish was meaningful included on the food pan labels, here are a few:

• Cornbread muffins - [This is a] father and daughter childhood favorite
• Pancit - It comes from the Philippines, like part of our family.
• Vegetable Rice - It is a dish served at occasions in my mum's country, Nigeria.
• Puff Puff - In Cameroon, this is a great deep-fried snack to welcome guests.
• Pretzels with Za'atar (Beyrootzels)- It's fun to make - a blend of our German and Lebanese heritage.
• Pecan, Bacon, Gouda, Sausage Rolls - Classic British comfort food!
• Challah - It is part of our weekly Shabbat celebration
• Eggplant Parmesan - This is our family's eggplant parmesan recipe passed down from my grandmother who came from Naples, Italy.
• Tallarin Verde - It is a Peruvian staple passed down that our son loves as we continue to celebrate traditions.
• Spicy Cold Noodles - Cultural food is a reminder that wherever you go, your identity and values follow.
• Brazilian Cream of Chicken - [This] reminds me of Sunday lunch at my grandparents.
• Sweet Potato Cornbread - It's a blend of new and old traditions.
• Smoked Peruvian Chicken - It reminds us of our family gatherings in Peru!
• Antipasto - It represents the joy that is cultivated at the Italian dinner. table. Food and connection mean everything to Italians.

We couldn't have done it without the many people who helped with set-up, clean-up, and delivering the leftover food to Clifton Sanctuary - THANK YOU!  We would also like to recognize parent Marie-Laure Dujols and Le Jardin Francais for donating the beautiful flowers! 

We hope this was a fun and meaningful experience for your family. Look for more photos on Facebook later today!
