Happy Thanksgiving from Emma's Torch!

As you sit down to your Thanksgiving feast this year, consider that this celebration of the Pilgrims fleeing England in 1620 to seek religious freedom and the promise of prosperity in a new land is just the first step in America’s long history of taking in refugees.

Happy Thanksgiving from Emma's Torch!

What an incredible evening! We had a full room at the Institute of Culinary Education to hear Julia Turshen and Claus Meyer speak. Our students cooked along renowned Chef Harold Villarosa of Insurgo Project. Many thanks go to Ethan Frisch of Burlap and Barrel for speaking spice! And huge thanks go to all of our goody-bag donors.
