In 2020, with COVID keeping us all away from social gatherings in person, I had to get creative while hanging on to a vision of featuring women in food in WNY through farm-to-table events.

And so, after many conversations with incredible women, this online series for 2020 was born - Women in Food of WNY!

It was an incredible series of 15 episodes taught LIVE on Zoom as cook-along and garden-along classes mixed with personal interviews, conversation of food knowledge, and rich storytelling. Yelp joined in to co-host the episodes for August and September which added a whole new community of folks!

The Live Online series has ended (for the time being) however, you can still access all the recipes and guides from the 2020 Live Virtual Season. Just join our email list below!
