The following description comes from the event organizer.
Plates for the People is a series of free, monthly cooking classes for people in or seeking recovery, taught by award winning chefs in recovery. The Alano Club of Portland and Ben’s Friends have partnered with some of the country’s best chefs—including Gregory Gourdet, Tommy Habetz, Gina Helive, Gabriel Rucker and more—to bring the recovery community free, accessible classes where students learn about budgeting, meal planning, and how to cooking delicious, healthy dinners they can repurpose for multiple meals to feed themselves and others. Each class begins with the visiting chef sharing about their own journey with cooking and recovery, and concludes with the chef and students sharing a meal, and their stories, with each other. Free follow-up classes will be offered by Feed the Mass, the only non-profit cooking school in Portland.
