Global Culinary

Food memories remind us of growing and eating food with our families, kitchen time and help us bring a taste from home to San Diego. The Master Gardener Association of San Diego County Global Culinary Committee is committed to engaging all multicultural residents through growing and eating our own food right here in San Diego – a taste of home!

What the Global Culinary Committee is about

  • Reaching out to multicultural communities within San Diego County with inspiring, family recipes
  • Offering our communities “how to grow” associated plants, herbs and spices  (habitat, frequency of watering, fertilizing, balcony pots, in-ground vegetables, etc.)
  • Sharing all global recipes with instructions
  • Providing detailed possible allergic reaction notes
