Support education and taste the food of Trek
Food is an important part of a school building Trek. It not only gives us the energy we need to work in solidarity with our communities, but just as importantly, it also provides an opportunity to live in solidarity with our communities. Through this collection of recipes, created in collaboration with our buildOn Trek cooks, you, too, can experience the culinary magic of Trek from your own kitchen.
