In this 1-hour workshop, learn from the "master" a.k.a. Kris's mom Susan a.k.a. Lola! She will guide us through an easy approach to wrapping, rolling & cooking "Turon" (a Filipino fruit-filled spring roll typically filled with cooking banana). Lola will adapt the recipe using fruit you can find at the Regina Farmer's Market! In true Pinoy spirit, we've invited a friend - Ling! of Ling Eats and Ling's Tita - to Lola's "merienda" (a Filipino late afternoon snack). We will wrap & roll AND eat while we chat about our experiences with and memories of this Filipino treat.

RPL Film Theatre and Dunlop Art Gallery are proud to offer this program in partnership with Regina Farmer's Market.

Ingredients: 2 Cups of fruit (apples, peaches, blueberries, etc), 6" Spring Roll Pastry wrappers (not wonton or rice wrappers), 1 Cup brown sugar, cooking oil, frying pan, tongs or spatula, cutting board, knives, spoon, small bowl of water, damp tea towel.
