Kidist Solomon Bekele hopes that anyone who attends her cooking workshop, leaves feeling confident enough to make delicious Ethiopian-inspired vegetarian foods that are easy to cook.
“Cooking vegetarian food is very easy,” she said.
“I am so passionate about my culture and I’m so interested to let people see [it].”
As a follower of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, Ms Solomon said she fasts about 180 days over the course of the year, and abstains from eating animal products.
“At this time we are fasting for the next 55 days, we’ve already passed one week,” she said.
“Especially when we fast, we cook more vegetarian foods.”
The event is part of Harmony Day celebrations and attendees should also bring a vegetarian plate to share.
The free workshop will take place at the Eco Living Centre, 28 Bridge Drive, Wyndham Vale on March 20, from 6.30-9pm, but bookings are essential.
