Our cultural month of April - a little taste of Samoa, Fiji & the Phillipines

In April we decided to learn a little bit more about some of the cultures in our ward so a few of our RS sisters were generous enough to come in & share with us their native culinary skills. 

For week 1 we had the lovely Sister Saena who taught us how to make delicious Panipopo (Coconut buns) & English pudding...............

And then for Week 2 we had Sister Ramirez, the gorgeous Cabaron family & a couple of their friends from Albany ward come in & show us the traditional filipino bamboo dance ('Tinikling') which everyone had a blast trying out!.....

This was followed by her showing us how to make yummy Banana lumpia (AKA turon or banana spring rolls)

Then in week 3 we had a little taste of Fiji with some beautiful curries & homemade roti taught to us by our very own resident masterchef, Sister Walters :)

So then after 3 weeks of being taught by the best, we split off into classes on the final week so put into practice the things that we'd learnt. The Beehives tried to recreate a little bit of Samoa :)....

The Beehives ready to perform their sasa taught to them by Lani :)

The Miamiads took over the Phillipines...

And the Laurels whisked us back to tropical days in Fiji.....

All in all it was a really informative month & so cool to experience life through another culture's food - even if it was only for the night :) It's always so refreshing to try something different for a change! Lots of love & a huge big thank you to our special sisters who helped out! x
