On Thursday, June 20th at La Palapa, Chef Barbara Sibley is thrilled to host executive director Caleb Zigas and two La Cocina entrepreneurs, Guisell Osorio from Sabores del Sur and Dilsa Lugo of Los Cilantros to celebrate the release of We Are La Cocina: Recipes in Pursuit of the American Dream.
Join Chef Barbara, Caleb, Guisell, and Dilsa at Menton for an evening of sharing stories over delicious, soulful food and tequila. A four course menu will highlight dishes inspired by La Cocina entrepreneurs, weaving together the narratives shared in the cookbook with Chef Barbara's own narrative. Each guest will take home a copy of We Are La Cocina.
La Cocina, a San Francisco-based non-profit, was founded in 2005 with the belief that a community of talented natural entrepreneurs, given the right resources, can create self-sufficient businesses that benefit themselves, their families, their community, and the whole city. They support businesses by providing an affordable commercial kitchen space, industry-specific technical assistance and access to market opportunities. We focus primarily on providing resources to women from communities of color and immigrant communities
We Are La Cocina offers evocative and beautiful lent and their food to pursue economic freedom and over 120 of their recipes for you to taste that success in your home. This book offers home cooks a glimpse into the world of La Cocina, and the world around all of us.
Three volunteers are needed: one for check in, one for photography and one for write-up.
