Food is an amazing way to bring people together, so I think it's ingenious that the Pemberton Multicultural Network is hosting a Community Kitchen, with cooking demonstrations and classes. On Thursday 26 April, 6pm - 8pm, Misun Lammens (our most recent guestagrammer and a pretty fabulous cook) will teach people how to make Bi Bim … Continue reading Learn to cook Korean, Thursday 26 April
