Hi Everybody,

I had a wonderful summer this year with some great surprises.

For the first time, I took Kallayanee’s Kitchen to Saltspring Island where my kind friends Noni and Blair hosted me at their Homestead in the Vale farm in the Long Harbour area. I taught Lesson One, Thai Classic Favourites, and Lesson Two, Sweet & Sour Spareribs and Chicken Satay Banquet to two very enthusiastic, packed classes of Islanders on Saturday and Sunday at the end of August.

I loved meeting so many good people, made many new friends, and hope to visit Saltspring again in the not-too-distant future.

Speaking of Lesson One, I shall be hosting another class next Tuesday, September 12, but I’m afraid it’s all sold out. A Lesson One class on Saturday, September 23, is also sold out.

However, there are still spaces available for two more Lesson One overflow classes in October. There’s one on Saturday, October 14, and another on Saturday, October 28. Both classes start at 2:30 p.m. If you’d like to attend either one of these classes I highly recommend that you book your places ASAP as both classes are already filling quickly.

If you LOVE vegetarian food as much as I do, you’re lucky! That’s because there are still places available for my Vegetarian One class, Spicy Money Bags Potpourri, on Tuesday, September 13, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Here’s what’s on the menu:

Money Bags
Spicy hot tofu appetizers flavoured with chili. 

Corn Salad
Fresh cooked, locally-harvested corn kernels tossed with tomatoes in a delicious lime juice-based sauce.

And, of course, as always, these delicious dishes will be followed by one of my surprise Thai desserts!

I’m looking forward very much to a new Fall season of Kallayanee’s Kitchen and hope to see you soon at one of my classes.

Sincerely,

Kallayanee
