Events › Oakland Bloom Presents: Michoacán Cooking with Tsiri

Join us for an intimate live culinary demonstration with Chef Marlene of Tsiri. Experience the heart of her family recipes and the traditions that have shaped her love for Mexican food, deeply rooted in Michoacán. Through each dish, she shares her deep respect for quality, local ingredients and the meaningful relationships with farm workers and all those who care for the land—bringing warmth, connection, and community to every bite.

This program is in partnership with Oakland Bloom. Oakland Bloom’s mission is to advance economic equity in the food industry. It aims to support poor and working-class refugee, immigrant, and BIPOC chefs to launch their own food businesses, and to reenvision and reshape what a healthy and just food service industry could look like. It pursues these aims by enabling pathways for individual & collective ownership and neighborhood resilience with working class migrant/BIPOC chefs and communities.

This program is made possible by the Friends of the Oakland Public Library.
