Cooking with Pride

On Wednesday, June 25th, one of our Wunderfull Lab team members, Grace Lin, had the opportunity to attend Cooking with Pride—a community event hosted at the Boston Public Library's Roxbury branch in partnership with the New England Culinary Arts Training (NECAT). The event was led by Chef Q and Morgan Spivey, a training chef and Roxbury native currently enrolled in NECAT’s free, 12-week culinary training program. 

The session blended hands-on cooking techniques with powerful conversations about food access, affordability, and healthy choices. Participants learned essential culinary skills including precision slicing, efficient meal preparation, and creative flavor balancing, all while crafting chicken salad taco bowls. The workshop overall reminded us that food is more than a dish, it is a catalyst for pride, opportunity, and belonging.
