Potlucks
The SimplyRaw Potlucks take place on the last Friday of every month (with some exceptions) from 6:30-9pm at 174 First Avenue in Ottawa. The next potluck will take place on Friday March 24. Please note that the potlucks are open to all — you don’t have to be raw vegan to attend and enjoy. We ask that everyone brings a home-prepared dish enough to feed 8-10 people. It can be as simple as a green salad, guacamole, or a lovely cut-up bowl of juicy fruit. We look forward to seeing you there!
6:30 – doors open
7:00 – dinner starts (Sharp)
Recipes & Ingredients
Every adult should bring a dish *home prepared* at home to serve 8-10 people. Please bring your recipe (so we can share them on the website) with the complete list of ingredients for those with allergies. We’ll be awarding prizes for best dessert & best main dish of the evening, as voted by everyone in attendance.
