Get ready for Thanksgiving with chef and author Maya-Camille Broussard
Illinois Libraries Present (ILP) , a statewide collaboration between public libraries offering premier events, is joined by the star of Netflix's Bake Squad, Chef Maya-Camille Broussard, for an online event on Wednesday, Nov. 8.
Join Maya-Camille Broussard, chef, author, star of Netflix's Bake Squad and owner of Chicago based Justice of the Pies, for a demo from her kitchen - just in time for Thanksgiving. Broussard will share her love of pie, the stories of those that inspired her, and some tips and tricks to help you make the perfect Thanksgiving pie.
Broussard uses her love of food to have a positive impact on the local community. She offers an "I Knead Love" workshop several times each year for kids from low-income households to learn basic cooking skills, healthy eating habits and nutrition. Justice of the Pies has partnered with many Chicago area charities to provide meals for communities on the south and west sides. During the COVID pandemic, her bakery partnered with Frontline Food to provide food from restaurants for front-line workers. Being hearing-impaired, Broussard works hard to set an example for young bakers by telling the story of her struggles and success.
A Conversation with Maya-Camille Broussard will be online on Zoom at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 8. To register, visit SchaumburgLibrary.orgevents.
