About this Event
Plates for the People is a series of free, monthly cooking classes for people in or seeking recovery, led by Chef Patrick McKee (Estes).
Plates for the people began in 2019, when the Alano Club of Portland and the Portland chapter of Ben’s Friends partnered with Cookshop and some of the country’s best chefs—including Gregory Gourdet, Tommy Habetz, Patrick McKee, Marcus Oliver, Gabriel Rucker and more—to bring the recovery community free, accessible classes where students learn about budgeting, meal planning, and how to cooking delicious, healthy dinners they can repurpose for multiple meals to feed themselves and others. Each class begins with the visiting chef sharing about their own journey with cooking and recovery, and concludes with the chef and students sharing a meal, and their stories, with each other.
