REMINDER: We can never guarantee you meet a romantic match at our events. Our Singles Events are a little different! There may not be people you directly connect with on a romantic level, but we believe that every event is an opportunity to practice skills in meeting and connecting with new people. You never know where a new friendship may come from and we have even seen people connect at events that set each other up on dates with people in their networks! So, give it a chance and don’t be shy! We’ll be there to help you mix and mingle!
Cooking Up Love: World Skewers & Kebabs for Singles
Chef: Caroline Barrett
Date: Thursday, July 17, 2024
Time: 6:00PM-8:30PM
Join Capital Cooks and Micropolitan Matchmakers for an evening of food, community, and fun! We think cooking and eating together is a great way to mingle and meet people.
Food and ingredients from around the world vary greatly but almost all of them have meats, vegetables and other tasty things that are cooked over an open fire. Join us to discover the flavors and techniques from a few of those far-off places, all through the humble backyard grill. We'll have breads and salads and other accompaniments, too. This class is permitted for individuals 16 years and older.
Menu:
- Peruvian Chicken Skewers with Aji Verde
-Za’Atar Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers with Lemon Tahini
