I loved “Around the World” days when I was teaching third grade. Each student did a report and brought food representing a different country. It is nice to understand and appreciate different cultures and what better way than over a meal.
The Rapides Parish Library will present “For The Love of Food” on Monday, April 1 from 5:30-7:30 PM at the Main Branch, 411 Washington St. in Alexandria.
Come and learn about Indian Cuisine, a symphony of flavors, some color, some spice, some heat, and an abundance of taste! To know Indian cooking is to know the spices. Learn about these spices and their benefits during a cooking demonstration from “Imagine, Explore & Create” by Amy Pillarisetti, Lal Mirch School of Cooking.
The event is free and open to the public but seating is limited so registration is required.
For more information contact 318-445-2411 or register online at https://www.rpl.org. You can also register in person at any of the Rapides Parish Library branches.
