Cooking with Global Chefs on this Month’s Google+ Hangout

Yesterday we conducted November’s Food Revolution Community Hangout and focused entirely on chefs around their world giving their tips and tricks for holiday cooking.

We had such a blast during the hangout and want to share our amazing team of chefs and our favorite moments with you. To get in the holiday spirit, a snowman even makes an appearance in the hangout. Keep an eye out!

Cooking is a Life Skill that Brings Everyone Together



Here are some of our favorite moments during the holiday hangout. If you want to share your favorite moment, let us know here!
