As part of the 2019 Terroir Symposium, we're hosting a few collaborative meals to celebrate what makes our network so special. On May 5th, Olivia Simpson of Ricky + Olivia Events Toronto, Selassie Atadika of Midunu and Amanda Cohen of Dirt Candy NYC will be taking over the kitchen at Ufficio Restaurant for a special Ghanian Brunch. This cross-cultural experience will explore traditional ingredients from Ghana and Canada. All profits raised from this once in a life time experience will be used to create a culinary scholarship for one deserving, passionate woman in Ghana.
