Cuisines of the World is a culinary activity in which participants share a recipe from their native country. It’s a moment of sharing and exchange around a dish from here and elsewhere, while savouring the delights offered by the participants. It’s also good practice in French culinary terms for those learning the language.

The cuisines discovered this year are Colombian, Peruvian, Lebanese, Haitian, Québécois, Salvadorian and Iranian.

Les cuisines découvertes cette année sont colombienne, péruvienne, libanaise, haïtienne, québécoise, salvadorienne et iranienne.
