About Sacraspice

Sacraspice provides intergenerational, culturally-diverse cooking workshops that teach youth how to cook their favourite meals from scratch. We believe that it takes a community to raise a child, and we collaborate with both parents and seniors in the community to instil the passing down of food skills from generation to generation and keep ancestral connections alive. 

 

Our workshops take place in specifically-chosen NIA neighbourhoods in Toronto, where food insecurity is high among BIPOC families. We believe providing youth with lifelong cooking skills will not only allow them to live healthier, fulfilling lives, but also, help prevent the onset of diet-related illnesses, which are high amongst these populations. We want to see the next generation of young people take their health back into their own hands.

To instil lifelong cooking skills in young people so they can live healthier lifestyles and  become more self-sufficient in the kitchen.
