It's dish'ED, a night of food, wine and friends. We put on the inaugural dish'ED on April 17th, and it was great fun! Our crack team of volunteers and a very spirited group of guests made for a special evening.
I love to cook. I love to learn about cooking. I love to share that interest with other people, both cooks and diners.
The team behind dish'ED is hoping to make it an ongoing event and to spread the idea to other cities. I loved the diverse group of people that came out to our first effort and the fact that they all now know about imagine1day. I learned that it's important to make sure early in the day that the sheet pans fit in the oven.
The immediacy of the connection between what we can do here in Canada, and what imagine1day does for kids in Ethiopia.
I suppose I knew this before, but imagine1day and dish'ED confirmed it for me very powerfully - combining people's passions with opportunity and with purpose creates great experiences. And it's a whole lot of fun.
Its work is important, I collaborate with great people, and we have unique experiences. We built and opened a restaurant in 12 hours!
