The 8th annual Kultura Filipino Arts Festival is a 5-day event celebrating the Filipino culture in Toronto. The last day of the celebration takes place at the Artscape Wychwood Barns (located at 601 Christie St, Toronto, ON ) on Sunday, August 11, 2013, from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is where the KULTURA’s Philippine Culinary Competition will be held at. Last year’s winner, Lamesa Filipino Kitchen, will be co-presenting at this year’s event. 

The main theme for this year’s event is Kain Kalye (Filipino Street Eats). So if you’re not familiar with the Filipino (food) culture, then I’d definitely recommend that you come out to experience it next weekend. There will be a wide selection of Filipino Street Eats, musicians, and a shopping area with products from Filipino artists and entrepreneurs. See you next Sunday =)

Background

The 8^th Annual KULTURA Filipino Arts Festival celebrates the growing community of Filipinos in Toronto and Canada. From music, dance, theatre, visual arts, and of course, food, KULTURA is a celebration of Filipino culture within the context of Canada.

• KULTURA Festival is KAPISANAN’s annual Filipino arts event. 
• Since 2005, KULTURA has featured outdoor live music, spoken word poetry performances, and a marketplace with goods and services from Filipino-Canadian artists and entrepreneurs. 
• KULTURA features curated visual arts exhibits, theatre readings and film screenings, all by Filipino-Canadian artists. 
•  In 2012, KULTURA introduced the Philippine Culinary Competition. KULTURA is the first Filipino festival to highlight Philippine culinary arts. 
• KULTURA is the first cultural culinary event held at Artscape Wychwood Barns. The successful pilot event resulted in bringing back the Philippine Culinary Competition to Artscape. 

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs. Gradually add in milk and water, stirring to combine. When fully combined, add salt and margarine; beat until smooth.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately ¼ cup for each crepe.
3. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
4. Cook the crepe for approximately 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
