Event Overview

Cachupa, long identified as the national dish of Cape Verde, is a unique mix of meat, beans, and grains that reflects a diverse mix of Portuguese and West African cultures. In this class, we'll learn to make this dish, discuss the history of conflict the region, and sit down to enjoy a meal together at the end of class.

Hands-on, BYOB, class includes dinner around our farm table.

Your ticket supports Peterson Garden Project's cooking and gardening summer programming for Camp GirlForward, dedicated to creating and enhancing opportunities for girls who have been displaced by conflict and persecution.

Discover how food shapes culture and how conflict shapes food in Feasts of Resistance. In this six-class series, we'll explore how iconic dishes from cultures around the world—from Burma to Ethiopia, Syria to Haiti—were created or affected by social or political unrest.
