NSC Cooks Around the World

Join us for an interactive virtual cooking demonstration series with weekly chefs from around the world—Indonesia, Nigeria, Syria, Brazil, and Mexico! Each week, a different chef will share their culinary talents and traditional dishes through cooking demonstrations. Follow along and prepare the dish to enjoy yourself! 

Here is how you can participate: 

• Register for this free series
• The day before the event, you will receive a special link to access that week’s cooking demonstration and the ingredients you'll need.
• Each week, you will be able to access the video with this link at 6 pm. You will be able to access the video for one week after the event if you cannot make it or want to watch it again! 
• Take photos of your finished dish and post on Instagram and/or Facebook with #NSCCOOKSAROUNDTHEWORLD to be entered into a raffle for a $50 gift card to the Reading Terminal Market.

This is a free event, but we welcome donations in any amount to support our “We’re in this Together” campaign. 100% of your gift will go directly to keeping immigrants and refugees fed, housed, and afloat! Best of all, your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, by a generous donor—up to $100,000!
