Latin and American dishes with Cuban sandwiches and empanadas
"A culinary program that takes a deep dive into Mexican heritage and history through a culinary lens, offering in-depth classes on traditional moles and adobes as well as sessions in modern Mexican fusion cuisine—ideal for students seeking both cultural context and practical cooking skills." - AFAR
"La Cocina figures in multiple ways here: a La Cocina alum is behind the Mi Morena truck included in the 1028 Market Street lineup, and Linda Esposito, Municipal Marketplace director for La Cocina, is a panelist at the female founders event supporting Girls Inc." - Caleb Pershan
"I'm reaching out to La Cocina, the Mission’s incubator for food businesses from women of color, as I explore projects—maybe a bakery—to support women and immigrant workers in the industry." - Caleb Pershan
"A nonprofit incubator that helps female food entrepreneurs open their own businesses, La Cocina served as the incubatory home for Nyum Bai early on, supporting its growth from a pop-up toward becoming a permanent restaurant." - Ellen Fort
"Buying an assortment of goodies from La Cocina not only gets you top-notch products made by local women entrepreneurs but also supports a raddest Bay Area nonprofit; their boxes at different price points feature items like Azalina’s Malaysian lavender orange tea, Neo Cocoa’s black sesame brittle, Clairesquares’ Irish shortbread, and Kika’s Treats’ hazelnut caramels enrobed in dark chocolate." - Ellen Fort
