Anyone who is passionate about cooking or baking with traditional fresh or natural ingredients, preparing, serving, and/or eating with nontoxic, sustainable materials, locating and shipping hard-to-find culinary supplies from inside Ecuador to the coast, or one who views food service as an artistic expression, an expression of passion, or a means to healthy physical, mental, and/or emotional health is invited to join us. We will meet about once a month for a theme meal (Greece, France, Jewish, Germany, Asian, or others). Members will bring a dish or beverage to a home dinner party. We will compile a data base of items desired as supplies for our individual kitchens. We will share the joy of cooking, baking, drinking, and/or eating as each person's unique experiences or knowledge brings to the group.
