Building community through food.

Our Programs

Community Cooking

We cook a rotating menu focusing on Asian/Asian-American cuisine every Saturday. All cooking levels are welcome to join. This is a space to cook together, share stories, and eat together.

While the meals we cook are donated to South Philadelphia Community Fridge, this is not a meal service program. We do not provide social services as we are just a community group of people who enjoy cooking together. If you are in need of assistance, please use the City’s food finder to locate the nearest food assistance program.

Test Kitchen

Occasionally we have Test Kitchens on Thursday evenings. This is a low-stakes, fun way to experiment with new techniques and recipes with a small group of people.

In previous test kitchens we’ve making boba from scratch and kimchi.

Our 2nd Anniversary Sponsors

Thank you to our sponsors for supporting our second anniversary celebration on April 26!
