Description
Plates for the People is a project of the Alano Club of Portland and Ben’s Friends. It is a series of free, monthly cooking classes for people in or seeking recovery, taught by award winning local chefs in recovery. Classes met the third Tuesday of each month. Class signup is online: https://www.platesforthepeople.org/sign-up
Plates for the People brings the recovery community free, accessible classes where students learn about budgeting, meal planning, and how to cook delicious, healthy dinners that 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 are offered by Feed the Mass, the only non- profit cooking school in Portland.
The Alano Club of Portland and Ben’s Friends, along with Cookshop and Feed the Mass, partner with some of Portland’s best, award-winning chefs to give people in or seeking recovery an opportunity to learn more about nutrition, meal planning, and meal preparation using fresh, healthy ingredients.
