This World Food Day, we’re reminded that food is more than a meal. It’s dignity, health, culture, and connection – something everyone deserves access to.
As the Executive Chef and Co-Founder of restaurant Teranga and our Board Member, Chef Pierre Thiam has spent his career feeding people and advocating for a more sustainable food system.
That’s why Chef Pierre joined Pantry to Plate, our initiative inviting chefs to transform the fresh, wholesome ingredients in our Pantry packages into delicious, balanced meals. Chef Pierre’s dish uses rotating ingredients found in our Pantry packages: chicken, farina, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, kale, and corn. Watch his video here.
Chef Pierre shares, “Fighting hunger and food insecurity matters to me because food is more than sustenance: it’s dignity, health, culture, and connection. Everyone deserves the opportunity not just to eat, but to eat well.”
