Cocina Libre: Building Community through Immigrant Stories & Food Cultures

Join us on Thursday, Feb. 26 at 6:00 p.m. for an evening of food, film, and connection. Our guests are Professor and licensed therapist Julia Roncoroni (University of Denver; Cocina Libre founder) and James Beard finalist Chef Gregory León (Amilinda restaurant, Milwaukee). Both speakers grew up in Latin America and prioritize the sharing of food cultures as a way to build belonging and connection in their local communities. Attendees will watch a short documentary (40 min.) about Cocina Libre’s impact on chef participants; hear directly from Dr. Julia and Chef Greg about their work; and sample light appetizers from Chef Greg’s Amilinda offerings! Full details and RSVP can be found here.
