STORIES ABOUT FOOD AND RECIPES THAT CONNECT US
Course leader Diane O’Shea
Thursday afternoons 130-330 pm starting October 1 , 2026
4 weeks
Food connects us in meaningful ways. Whether sharing a meal or a food or recipe story, the connections give way to understanding more about who we are and our culture. The foods we eat, the recipes we make tell a story and this is what we want to share in this course. This will not be a cooking class. Rather, we will reflect on and discuss our food experiences in interactive meaningful sessions.
