Mera Kitchen Collective hosts pop-up events, and we offer catering services and cooking classes throughout Baltimore City. Our events are hosted in private homes and restaurants, and each event showcases the story and cuisine of a different chef. Mera's chefs come from all over the world and are here seeking refuge; they are eager to put their skills back to use to re-establish an independent, sustainable livelihood. We hope to connect you with our chefs and our chefs with their local community.

Mera Kitchen Collective is a worker cooperative - each chef participates democratically in as we build our business together. This allows for each individual to not only strengthen their culinary expertise, but also build equity and have a voice in the operations. The cooperative model is a successful tool for wealth generation and fostering empowerment.
