Honoring the First Harvest: Indigenous Culinary Traditions Explored

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, The Stew invites you to embark on a profound culinary journey into the heart of Indigenous foodways with 'Honoring the First Harvest: Indigenous Culinary Traditions Explored.' This immersive workshop is an opportunity to not only learn traditional recipes, but to delve into the rich histories, spiritual practices, and deep connections to the land that have shaped these cuisines for millennia.

Our expert guides, in partnership with Native American chefs and tribal members, will lead you through an exploration of diverse tribal nations, sharing stories and insights that illuminate the powerful role of food in Indigenous cultures. As you work with sacred ingredients and techniques, you'll gain a newfound appreciation for the resilience, ingenuity, and sustainability that are woven into these culinary traditions.

At The Stew, we believe in the transformative power of food to bridge divides, foster understanding, and create space for marginalized voices to be heard. By intentionally centering and uplifting Indigenous perspectives in this workshop, we hope to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable culinary narrative.

Join us in this celebration of Native American heritage, and let us cook, learn, and grow together in a spirit of reverence and community. As part of this experience, students will receive a curated selection of traditional ingredients and tools, enabling them to continue this culinary exploration in their own kitchens. A portion of the proceeds from this workshop will be donated to Indigenous organizations and causes, as a small step towards acknowledging and honoring the immense contributions of Native peoples.

Come, let us gather around the hearth, and partake in the nourishing wisdom of the First Harvest.
