On a warm spring morning in Melbourne, the industrial kitchen of Philadelphia Church Melbourne<\/span><\/a> was transformed into a space filled with aromas, memories, and connection, as EuRaw Inc.<\/span><\/a> hosted its first Romanian Cozonac Workshop<\/strong>, a baking event that brought 30 people together through tradition, food, and shared experience.<\/p>\n\n

The workshop is part of EuRaw\u2019s broader mission to create meaningful community spaces where Romanian culture can be shared and passed on.<\/p>\n\n

A hands-on workshop, from kneading to sharing a meal<\/h4>\n\n

Participants learned, step by step, how to prepare the traditional Romanian sweet bread named cozonac<\/em>, with walnut and cocoa filling<\/strong> from activating the yeast and kneading the dough, to shaping, filling, and baking. Each participant went home with their own freshly baked cozonac<\/em>, warm, soft, and fragrant. A true taste of home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Beyond baking, the workshop also included a shared community lunch<\/strong>, cooked together on the day: a comforting chicken and mushroom stew with polenta<\/strong>, enjoyed around the table while the dough was proofing. For EuRaw, this moment of eating together is as important as the cultural activity itself because it\u2019s a space where stories are shared, friendships are formed, and community truly happens.<\/p>\n\n
