Theme-Based Potluck: Iranian this Month

This is an event for people who want to learn to cook dishes from around the world! Everyone who signs up for the event, including guests, will bring a different homemade Iranian dish to share with the others. Links to great vegan Iranian recipes can be found at the bottom of this description!

Please bring a vegan dish, with at least 8 servings (=8 big scoops). Vegan means no dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, whey/casein, or other animal byproducts. Please bring an ingredients list for your dish and include your name and the name of the dish.

As this event is held at Vancouver CoHousing, we ask for a $2 donation to cover some costs. Please bring a plate, cup, napkin, and cutlery for yourself, and a serving utensil for your dish.

To ensure that we each bring a different dish, I will be contacting all attendees. If you have a favourite vegan Iranian recipe, we'd love to try it! If you need inspiration, you could try something from one of these websites (beware that not all recipes on these sites are vegan, so check the ingredients):
