Mercedes will teach you how to make Aji de Gallina, a creamy, spiced chicken stew. For dessert, Mercedes will guide you on how to make sweet Picarones, a traditional Peruvian doughnut made from butternut squash and sweet potato. Once the dishes have been prepared, you’ll sit down together with your fellow attendees to enjoy what you have cooked! This class is BYOB, so you are welcome to bring along some drinks to enjoy as you cook and eat.

About our Cook School Events The unrestricted funds raised by our events allow us to provide the resources and opportunities to support participants at our Cook School on their food journeys, sustaining the skills and confidence they gain with us here, and beyond. Since the beginning of the year, we’ve provided over 50 cookbooks and ingredient-based gift bags to participants in our Food Preparation and Budgeting Skills 6-week course. In addition, our weekly Lunch Club has served over 500 free, three course meals so far this year, and continues to support our pledge that good food and good company to share it with, are key to a public health approach to homelessness prevention.
