Zeina’s All Day Food Escapade
Sunday August 11th, 2024. 10am to 8pm. Bring your senses to life! $199 +taxes
What better way to take some fun time to reconnect with all your senses than an All-Day Food Escapade!! Join us for a relaxed day out of the city to replenish and rejuvenate our energy and spirits as we rediscover all our wonderful senses through food, laughter, music and play!
We have all kinds of games planned to use all of your senses in enjoying food and even to be a bit of a competitive cook. (No worries, though! All levels of culinary experience are welcomed.) I will show a variety of my favourite cooking and prepping techniques and demonstrate how and why simplicity goes hand in hand with creating some of the very best food.
Let’s take some time to slow down and just enjoy country life together!
My co-host, Celine Menassa, will also be leading you through various playful explorations that will help you to make yourself the priority as you breathe a little deeper, relax a little easier and just enjoy this entire day.
There will also be time to chill on the deck, take a dip in the pool, soak in the hot tub and, yes, dance to some wonderful music.
What about food? Together we’ll indulge in two delicious homemade meals that I will freshly prepare for you (and maybe with a tiny bit of fun help from you) as we sit down together to reconnect with existing friends and to make new ones.
All you need to bring from home for the day is a water bottle, notebook and pen, sunhat, sunglasses and sunscreen, a bathing suit, towel and flip flops. We’ll take care of the rest.
I promise you Zeina’s Kitchen will make this a wonderfully memorable All-Day Food Escapade!

A Full Day’s Escapade of Writing Workshops!
Sunday October 27th 2024. 10am to 8pm.
SOLD OUT!
If there’s one thing most writers and would-be writers do it’s to think and/or talk about writing a lot more than actually doing it! Here’s a chance to enjoy an entire day away from your usual distractions to focus solely on advancing your specific writing project. The day will alternate between learning key writing/revising strategies, then immediately applying them. The workshops are open to everyone at any stage of writing:
Debutants who have had one or more stories in their heads for years but never seem to get around to committing words to paper or a computer file.
Dabblers who have journaled or drafted all or part of an idea or some memories and need to pull that writing out from a file or drawer to shape it into a cohesive story.
Devotees who have revised an entire story/book numerous times but are seeking ways to further condense and refine it.
The writing strategies and exercises will apply to all but with adjustments for each project’s level of progress. Topics will include where to ideally start a story, how to create realistic dialogue, writing more succinctly/powerfully, when to be specific and when to be vague, shifting the narrative pacing, and how to avoid rushing or prolonging an ending.
Julie Gedeon, who has assisted several writers in completing their projects, will lead the workshops. And Zeina Abdul Karim will entice all with the aromas of the delicious food she will prepare for the well-deserved lunch and dinner breaks.
Male and female writers are welcomed. Instruction will be in English but can apply to French texts as well. A charged laptop is recommended for use on the day.
SOLD OUT!
