Building Community Through Food
Jordan Schachter has been building community through food in San Francisco since 2005. Through his business, Jordan’s Kitchen, he offers the yoga of food! In group cooking classes even the cooking challenged are empowered! He always uses fresh, seasonal, and organic ingredients and supports local farmers and producers. You can join one of Jordan’s scheduled cooking classes or book one for your next private event. The only better way than yoga asana to bond with friends, new and old, is definitely over food! Jordan will be offering two different classes this January, Winter’s Bounty and Comfort Food. He has been kind enough to share a few of his recipes with us this week. As always, I’d love to hear from you on my Facebook Page. Let us know if you find your inner chef! Still need that last minute gift? Consider a gift certificate for one of Jordan’s […]
