A group of enterprising Health and Society students have launched the DCU Food Society with the aim of finding innovative and interesting ways to incorporate healthy eating into a busy student life. Their ambitious plan for the first year includes a monthly cooking session and a monthly Foodie Movie Night showing food documentaries and serving alternative snacks (for members only).
However, the main attraction this semester is open to all. It’s a Street Food Fest at the end of October, in collaboration with the Urban Arts Society. An exciting array of food events are planned with a distinctively international twist – lots of new delights to try out! An Instagram competition will take place in early December for “the most alternative Christmas dinner” with the winner getting a free restaurant trip. Again this is open to all of us!
An inter-societal masterchef competition is one of the highlights of next semester with a focus on creative ways to make simple dishes on a tight budget. A pot-luck street party event is also in the mix. Sounds like lot of fun with yummy food too.
Anyone wishing to join, can check out the DCU Food Society Facebook page.
