About Us
Mission:
Our mission is to make healthy plant-based cooking and eating a community habit through hands-on food education.
Bronx Eats offers in-person and virtual plant-based whole foods cooking classes that teach recipe preparation for diverse cuisines using as many fresh and local ingredients as possible. All are welcome and classes are free of charge.
Vision:
Bronx Eats intends to become an integral part of Bronx community life, holding events that draw a crowd and spreading knowledge and skills that bring about a cascade of consequences:
An empowered population that will demand access to healthier produce in their neighborhoods.
Master chefs and Bronx locals who showcase their recipes and culinary traditions in Bronx Eats classes.
Interns who go on to become health and food justice change-makers.
Residents who grow their own food or start community gardens, food co-ops, etc.
Changes in the culinary landscape of the Bronx, the attention of politicians to the borough’s food problem, and systemic change towards a healthier local food system.
Core Values
“The shared meal elevates eating from a mechanical process of fueling the body to a ritual act of family and community, from mere animal biology to an act of culture”
— Michael Pollan
