Tastes of the World LCAS Holds Unique Fundraiser Guests of the Lewis County Adventist School (LCAS) cooking class learned the secrets of cooking curry dishes from around the world. Nyantara Leno, a native Sri Lankan and mother of two LCAS students, kept her audience of community and constituent members entertained with childhood stories and “curry” tales from afar. The aromatic and savory food samples, served by LCAS students, transported the guests to Vietnam with fresh spring rolls, to India with delicious mango lassis, and to Thailand with drizzled peanut sauce on their tasty gourmet samples. The group visited Sri Lanka via a flavorful pumpkin soup and zesty mock chicken curry. A lovely pansit took them to the Philippines, and a soothing Wattalapan coconut custard concluded the curry cooking event. A spice marketplace conducted brisk business at the conclusion of the class. Sponsored by the LCAS Home and School Association, Authentic Curry—East to West had two purposes: pique community awareness of the school, and raise funds for the school’s operating budget.
