Our facilitated group workshops, cooking classes, and facilitated meals are well suited to corporate team building, university classes, and retreats of all kinds. We focus on food education and using food as a tool for deconstructing complex topics like decolonization, systemic oppression, and migration. Our workshops have been featured at Montalvo Center for the Arts, University of Oregon, University of California at Davis, University of California at Berkeley, Stanford University, Claremont Colleges, and so many more public and private institutions. Some of our workshop topics include "Decolonizing Food," "Recipe For Rebellion," and "Kitchen Remedies."
