Soul Food with Pierre
WCPP would like to introduce Soul Food with Pierre. Soul Food with Pierre highlights a complete meal created by a local soul food enthusiast who has spent his life perfecting recipes taught to him at a very young age. He has found ways to change the recipes to add more flavor and reduce the fat content. Pierre shares that Soul Food is about a bringing people together in a family, neighborhoods or community. Consistent daily meals together can bond a family but also help students thrive in school and reduce risky behaviors. Pierre emphasizes the importance of how the time you invest by sharing meals together is just as important as what is on your plates.
