Ricefield is really proud of partnering with CCA Glasgow to bring events as part of the Cooking Pot Project.
Upcoming events:
Ricefield Chinese Potluck Dinner (Vegetarian) at The Project Cafe, Wednesday 9th December, 2015 at 18:00
Ricefield’s Chinese Potluck Dinner focuses on the sharing of Chinese food, recipes inspired by the past and present Glaswegian Chinese community and the stories surrounding it. We invite the community to bring your homemade Chinese dish and enjoy a good meal with others. Whether it’s soup, rice or noodle dish or dessert, come with a prepared dish and share your story.
We are building a community project centred around the design of a Ricefield Chinese & Community recipe book and we would love you to be a part of it by contributing your recipe and story of your favourite Chinese dish. Please e-mail info@ricefield.org.uk your recipes or to get involved in the design!
Please note: As The Project Cafe is a vegetarian cafe, all dishes must be vegetarian. Thank you for your cooperation.
