Cooking With Chef Arcot - Three Sisters Soup - Hybrid 1:00 PM

This is a "hybrid" class.

About the Class:

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, we will be learning to make Three Sisters Soup, a nourishing dish rooted in Native American tradition. This hearty recipe combines corn, beans, and squash - the “Three Sisters," which have been grown together for centuries in a practice that reflects harmony, balance, and interdependence in nature.

In this class, Chef Arcot will prepare this comforting soup while sharing about the cultural wisdom behind the Three Sisters - showing how these ingredients not only sustain the body but also represent the power of community and connection to the earth.

Our classes and programs are funded by grants, sponsors, donors and clients who are paying it forward. Cancer can be expensive; we do not want finances to be a barrier to accessing our valuable programming. Pay-as-you-can with a suggested donation amount per class of $10-$25.
