Each cooking class in Our Lucious Planet fundraiser on Wednesday evenings in June will highlight a different part of the world, allowing guests to learn about diverse cuisines and take part in thoughtful discussions about cooking around the world.
In addition, a raffle box of select native spices and sundries has been curated for each excursion. Proceeds from Our Luscious Planet will benefit Thrive DC as well as Les Dames d’Escoffier DC’s grants and scholarships programs. Thrive DC provides meals and helps to eradicate homelessness for the most vulnerable members of the community.
