The theme of the evening will be Syrian Cooking.
Chef Fatma Korid, was born in Aleppo, Syria, 1959. Mother of 4 children and a grandmother of 7. She has spent most of her life in the kitchen with her mother. At an early age, she knew she wanted to be a chef. At the age of 19 she opened her first KOSHIK, a small shop that sells baked goods. A few years after that, she opened her first ever restaurant where she served nothing but comfortable Syrian food on the go.
Since the Arab spring spread in the region, she was forced to leave everything she had built for more than 40 years. She is a very thankful to be alive, living in Canada since November of 2015. She is hoping to open an authentic Syrian restaurant to share her heritage and passion for food with the people of Winnipeg.
She will be assisted and translated by a friend to our Les Marmitons chapter who is very familiar with the Diversity kitchen, Sinan Aboud.
Here are some photos from this event.
