Breaking Bread with Our Community
Sharing food brings us together, and being together has never been more important. Chef Q and Steve Vick, Executive Director at IWSE are teaming up to bring you our first live cook-along event, where we can safely connect as a community and learn a new dish to share with our families and friends.
Join us and learn how to make a delicious meal at home—a nutritious dish that can be made by everyone in the family and is easy to prepare while making great memories together.
