Chashni is a part of Alefba Group focusing on food and culinary arts activities. The committee organizing the Chashni programs currently has the following main programs: 

1. Friendly gatherings for those who enjoy cooking and culinary arts, love to learn and share cooking tricks or simply want to taste a variety of foods to find their new favorites, especially among the Persian and Iranian foods and desserts. Each of the participants of such gatherings brings their favorite dish with the recipe, including the complete list of ingredients, and detailed instructions. Each session usually includes food or health-related talk.  These events are free and open to the public. 

2. Monthly events for volunteers to prepare and serve food to underprivileged members of the larger community; This program is organized in collaboration with the non-profit organization Operation Nightwatch and happens at their location in Seattle. If you are interested in joining this activity which happens on the 4th Monday of every month from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM, please fill out the form on this page.

3. Chashni committee also has occasional cooking classes, contests, and other culinary art-related programs.
