About this event
Food EventQailula is an Arabic term used for the nap you take after a big meal, especially when the weather starts to get cold. Your hosts and cooks, Samar and Wania, present a five course meal inspired by the foods of Persia and South Asia using seasonal Canadian ingredients. Between each course they will share their knowledge of their unique cuisine along with bedtime stories to entertain. It will be a night of genuine warmth and comforting foods — a delicious prologue to the coziest of naps.

Yakhni (Bone Broth) with Fresh Bread
The word yakhni is associated with a broth or stock made by simmering meat, bones, herbs, and aromatics. Yakhni asks us to think about nourishment that takes time. The broth is simmered until the liquid has fully soaked up all of the flavour. Rich and hearty this course embraces the concept of rest and that some things cannot be hurried.
