Looking for something a little different to do this month?

How about an evening that blends food, culture, and community — all served with a generous dash of flavour?

On Saturday, November 15th you can join Sanctuary Catering at The Carraig Centre in Ballincollig for their Guyanese Cooking Demo & Dinner Night — a vibrant, hands-on event that’ll take your taste buds on a trip to the Caribbean (without leaving Cork).

Led by Sanctuary’s talented chefs, you’ll dive into the colourful world of Guyanese cuisine, where Caribbean, Indian, African, and European influences come together in one seriously delicious melting pot. Expect rich curries, bold spices, and comfort food with serious soul.

Here’s what’s on the menu (beyond just great food):

• A live cooking demo where you’ll learn to prep authentic Guyanese dishes
• The stories and traditions behind the recipes
• A shared dinner with new friends
• Recipe cards to take home so you can recreate the magic later

It’s not just a cooking class — it’s a cultural experience that celebrates flavour, heritage, and community.

And the best part? Every ticket supports Sanctuary Catering, a Cork-based social enterprise that empowers migrant women through food, creativity, and employment. So you’re not just eating well — you’re doing good too.

Tickets are €55 and available now here.
