Saturday, May 9 from 2-4:30pm

Location: 581 Dudley Street · Dorchester

Details:

We invite you to join us for an afternoon of hands-on cooking education, bringing new ingredients to life and revamping our diets. Through interactive stations led by our teammates Kimmy and Alex, community members will meet neighbors who share their love of food, prepare ingredients to take home and cook, and enjoy tasty samples together too. The food will emphasize healthful plants in particular.

Same Sample Foods We'll Be Serving and Making:

  • Mushroom Jerky

  • Spring rolls with nature's most versatile super food

  • Zucchini and Banana bread

  • Hearty soup with veggies

  • And several more!

Logistics:

  • Flexible Time: Please feel free to drop in between 2-4:30p at a time that works best for you. However, to get the most of the programming we recommend arriving right at 2p to see all the presentations and have ample time to socialize over treats

  • Family Friendly for All Experience Levels: This event is friendly for all ages (including kids) and all stages (from new people looking to cook once in a while to the most seasoned chefs wishing to share their wisdom).

  • Donations Welcome, Not Expected: This event is compliments of Bay Staters for Creative Well-Being. While your donations are very appreciated to support our programs, your presence is the most important gift of all.

Transportation:

  • This area has some transportation challenges compared to other parts of the city

  • The Nearest T Stop is JFK / UMass on the redline (25 minute walk)

  • There are also several buses that stop nearby

  • There is some street parking, though not a lot so we recommend walking or biking if it is possible for you to do so.

If you would like to add this event to your calendar, you can do so here.

If you would like to sign up you can do so here for updates on weather rescheduling (etc) and to learn about future events in your area.
