- Cooking Matters Annual Summit [ 2 comments]
- May 27, 2011
When families gather at the table to eat, it is a special event. Coming together for a meal means sitting and talking, sharing and learning and just plain re-connecting. The entire Cooking Matters Family comes together just once a year and our mealtime table is a conference called Annual Summit. Last week Cooking Matters’ meal was in Detroit, MI, home to one of our partners, Gleaners Community Food Bank.
