Hi everybody!
First of all, I must say it is a pleasure
to be a Student Ambassador. I really hope I can help StudyAdelaide with their
amazing work of supporting international students!
Being an international student myself, I am
often asked what I like about living overseas. And one of my
answers (and I bet a lot of you also say that) is that I enjoy meeting
people and learning about new cultures.
Well last Friday I had the chance of doing
that in a great way – with food!
StudyAdelaide along with CitySalvos has
promoted a cooking class for international students. We had an Indian chef –
Promila Gupta – showing us some of her secrets and at the end we had a little
taste, of course.
I must say I was a little bit worried,
since I am not a big fan of spicy foods. But for my surprise, it was really
good! The secret was the combination of flavours, not all ingredients are hot,
you just need to learn how to balance them.
It was really interesting to know some
ingredients which are not common in my country. My favourite was the paneer
cheese.
After the class and the tasting we had a
beautiful and noble activity, helping serve lunch for people in need – mostly
homeless. It felt great being able to help others and see their smiles on their
face as they thank us at the end.
I definitely recommend this activity for
those who want to learn a bit of international culinary and also help someone
in need.
Don’t forget to register at the
StudyAdelaide website in order to receive newsletters with information
regarding new activities.
Hope to see you in the next one.
Tchau! (Brazilian way of saying Bye)
