MI CASA RESOURCE CENTER 

Denver 

News: Nine chefs, representing some five countries, will provide the food for Taste of La Receta, a July 24 tasting party that benefits Mi Casa Resource Center. 

“Celebrate Culture, Taste Success” is the theme for the 5 p.m. event to be held at the Denver City Park Pavilion, 2001 Steele St. 

Participants include Sarahi, a graduate of Mi Casa’s 5- to 10-week La Receta training program that equips food entrepreneurs with the tools to turn family recipes and passions for cooking into full-fledged businesses, such as food trucks, catering businesses or restaurants. 

The course covers business planning, menu pricing and navigating health regulations, permits and marketing. 

Sarahi and her husband grew their love of ice cream and sweet treats into La Chirimoya Ice Cream and Snacks, 1004 W. 104th Ave., Northglenn. Offerings there include over 20 original flavors of ice cream and paletas; smoothies, juices, milkshakes and Mexican snacks such as elotes and mangonadas. 

La Chirimoya is named after a flower from her hometown of Durango, Mexico. 

Other participants include Zenaida, owner-chef of Zeny’s Columbian Street Food; Orive & Mayte, owners of @Peyote; Wendy, owner-chef at Como en Kasa; Luz, owner-chef of De Luz Creations; Andrea & Gustavo, owner-chefs of Empanadas Peru; and Johana, chef and co-owner of D’Maracuchos.
