Swap Food with Fellow Cooks

Chicago Food Swap is an opportunity for cooks, bakers, canners and gardeners to get together and trade their homemade and/or homegrown food. Whether you're professionally trained or just an enthusiastic amateur, you're welcome to come and share what you've made, meet other like-minded foodies and trade your stuff for some of theirs through a bid-based "swapping" process.
