Turkish Cooking Class: Session # 8 Photos

TAWA organized the last session of Spring 2010 Turkish Cooking Classes on April 18th. We had a great afternoon playing a game on remembering the ingredients of select dishes, in which Althea was the winner, presenting a lovely movie of the pictures from previous classes and of course enjoying special Turkish dishes. We will be delighted to see everybody in the next semester!!!

TAWA attended "The Annual Turkish Cooking Classes Competition", which was held in Houston. Our representative was Melanie Cottam who was selected to be the third among eight participants from different cities of Texas. Congratulations Melanie! We are all very proud of you!! Here you can see some photos from the competition:
