Rosa Maria Tortorici and I are ecstatic to report that our collaborative project was a huge success.

Together, we devised a way to pull together a Spanish language lesson — with a nod to Rosa’s Living Spanish language school — while simultaneously conducting a Latino cooking class, which was my contribution.

We sold out to a very happy crowd of Hispanophile foodies hungry for knowledge. They also got a lot of laughs, a little talk on wine, courtesy of Anne Theunissen of Pacific Wines and Spirits, and some great Latino food.

The evening was successful for us on another level too. We had some media in attendance, which resulted some great coverage. Canadian Immigrant magazine profiled us in a feature article in the January, 2008, issue, which gave us national exposure.

Sun TV was also there and invited us onto an episode of Canoe Live a few weeks later for a dual live-to-air interview, while also broadcasting the photos we took of our class that night.

So much fun and so many great outcomes have to be followed up with even more, so we’ve decided to do another four classes this year, the first being in the spring.

Stay tuned for further notice.

To all the attendees, from both Rosa and myself, thanks for a great night.

Yours in good press,
Carlos
