Virtual Festival of Nations: Two Mosaic Sessions

Since its reintroduction in 2001, Festival of Nations has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors each August to shady Tower Grove Park in St. Louis for a cornucopia of multicultural experiences, from dance, to music, to food, to crafts, and more. This year, the International Institute of St. Louis introduces virtual Festival of Nations, an online opportunity to “meet, share and care.” Visit the Festival of Nations website for the full schedule.

 

Please consider joining Mosaic's two live sessions on Zoom this weekend:

Learn how to make Korean dish called Japchae

 

Japchae is made with sweet potato starch noodles and a variety of vegetables and meat.  Learn from Bomi Park of the St. Louis Mosaic Project about the traditional Korean dish. This dish is gluten-free and could easily be made as a vegan dish. Don’t miss out on the chance to ask any Korean food questions!
