Andrea Catania, 2025 winner, will present the results of her Culinary Adventure Award trip to Mexico. The award gave her the opportunity to study community kitchens in Mexico City first hand. She is applying that knowledge to the work she is doing right here in Boston.  With a partner, she recently founded Equitable Food Systems.  The organization is a food justice non-profit dedicated to advancing equity across the food system. 

Light snacks will be served. Dames only please as space is limited.
