Cooks Who Care’s “Food Is Therapy” series brings people together through food, storytelling, and shared experiences that explore the connection between food, creativity, community, and well-being.
In partnership with iLovett Films, these experiences capture the stories and craft of chefs and food makers while inviting guests to cook, learn, and connect. This special event will be filmed as part of the Food Is Therapy storytelling project, with portions featured in the Cooks Who Care cookbook and digital content.
Proceeds from this event will benefit the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD).
Fishtown Pickles will host this special event alongside Stephanie Jeffers-Barco, aka The Culinary Therapist, who is a PA based licensed therapist, culinary therapy practitioner, and developer of The PLATE Method for expanding awareness of culinary therapy and its role in everyday mental wellness.
We will also learn about the history of pickling and the different preservation methods and create your own quick pickles in this 90 minute class for beginners in brining! Option to BYOB for a fun and interactive social gathering.

- Interactive exercise with the PLATE method with The Culinary Therapist, as we mindfully sample pickles
