On Saturday, September 7th, 2013 Holstebro International held its 3rd Cook & Talk at Sønderlandsskolen.
The doors opened at 17:00, and after a brief introduction by Hans, our guests proceeded downstairs to the school's kitchen, where Laina was briefing our 3 volunteer cooks.

This time around, we tried something different; 4 cooking stations, instead of the usual 3. We added a 'Kids' Cooking Station', where the kids made their own pizzas. It was such a big hit that we will continue to have this 4th station at all of our Cook & Talk events.
A special thanks to Yuka for volunteering to help out at the Kids' Station, and to Sheryl for stepping in to lend a helping hand.
Over at the Slovenian station Lea and her group worked quickly to prepare quick, simple dishes, that were utterly delicious.
Next, at the Iranian station, Ashkan and his team worked tirelessly to prepare his dishes, but unfortunately ran out of time with the roasted potatoes. Because his dessert took a long time to set, he prepared it the morning of the event, and had to quickly run home while everyone was eating to retrieve it.
The Colombian station led by Nancy and her friend Doris made a palate pleasing rice dish, that is similar to Spanish rice, and followed up with a refreshingly fruity dessert, which was perfect for the warm weather we were having.
After dishes were presented, we headed back upstairs to the dining area, where the eating began and the mingling continued. This was the first Cook & Talk where alcohol was served, and everyone enjoyed the 'hyggelige' atmosphere.
After a long, but wonderful evening, it was time to clean up, pack up, and head home.
We are anxiously awaiting the next Cook & Talk, on November 9th, and hope to see you there! Also, there have been rumors that we will have Japanese, Russian, and Danish cuisine, but nothing is confirmed yet.
P.S. Our Marketing and Media board member, Sheryl, took these pictures, and created that short video for us. We hope you enjoyed them!
