Item Description

San Francisco's La Cocina invites you to participate in an interactive cooking class led by one of the talented entrepreneurs from their acclaimed incubator program. Your group might make momos, take on tamales or mess around with menudo... but whatever it is, you will eat well and have the recipes to prove it. You'll eat like chefs in the end, standing around our commercial kitchen, but the wine will make that go down just fine. At the end of the evening, everyone will receive copies of the recipes so you can recreate the menu at home and probably some take-home food too. Come learn about La Cocina, cook your way around the world and meet some of the most talented chefs in the Bay.

Date:  October 6, 2018. 6pm
Transportation to/from San Francisco will be provided.

La Cocina was born out of a belief that a community of natural entrepreneurs, given the right resources, can create self-sufficient businesses that benefit themselves, their families, their community, and the whole city. The food that has come out of this kitchen since 2005 reflects that aspiration and, quite simply, tastes amazing.
La Cocina (pronounced la co-see-nah, meaning “The Kitchen” in Spanish) was inspired by its current home, San Francisco’s Mission District. This ethnically diverse and economically vulnerable neighborhood that thrives in part due to the many small informal businesses that serve the community. Food lies at the heart of this community, and you don’t have to look far to find hidden entrepreneurs in the kitchens of many homes.
Recognizing a need to formalize these food businesses and the opportunity created when you turn inconsistent and illegal home restaurants into sustainable legal businesses, organizations like Arriba Juntos, The Women’s Initiative for Self-Employment and The Women’s Foundation of California and one very special and visionary anonymous donor created La Cocina. La Cocina is both the space-a modern building and commercial kitchen that has been featured in Metropolis Magazine—and the program—an innovative business incubator that supports a growing roster of small businesses.
