Culinary Workshops

In these, we prepare meals, invite students to look at grocery store prices in real time, and reflect on questions at the dinner table. These often center on food memories and sensory experiences the kitchen offers. Workshops include hours of teamwork and problem solving, creativity, beauty, and cooking. They are opportunities for our students to turn on a stove for the first time ever, (or for the first time in over a decade) and to crack an egg, to identify ginger root for the first time, or to have their first taste of horchata. Our facilitator team refers to this space as our joy lab!
