Sam’s Food Journey
Food plays a unique role in everyone’s lives, from bringing people together to eat and cook to meeting neighbors at a community meal to weekly trips to the grocery store. A big part of my food journey has been working at Urban Roots. I joined the Cook Fresh Program in the summer of 2021.
Your Food Identity
Why do you like the foods that you like? What do they mean to you? What memories come from them? Are the ingredients easy to find? Your food identity revolves around your unique answers to these questions.
UPCOMING COOKBOOK! Behind the Plate: Food Stories From Saint Paul’s East Side
Each season of Food Stories reflects the depth and beautifully intricate contributions of community members, youth interns, and Urban Roots staff who shared their recipes, memories, and experiences in our kitchen.
