What a proud moment to be a part of @womenwhoreall What a proud moment to be a part of @womenwhoreallycook. This Tuesday we awarded four scholarships to young women from Minnesota pursuing post-secondary education in hospitality and food-related fields at Minnesota schools. Congratulations to Ana, Ava, Natalie and Paige, the 2026-2027 recipients of the second annual Sue Zelickson Scholarships. We are delighted to welcome you to Women Who Really Cook. We look forward to getting to know you and supporting your work. We can’t wait to have you at our monthly events to enrich your education beyond the classroom. The @hospitalitymn annual Scholarship Breakfast is an event filled with hope and possibility. It is absolutely inspiring to learn about the young men and women whose educational aspirations receive the support of organizations across our state. These students are rooted in the power of food to connect and heal. They seek to strengthen their communities, nourish people, and share their traditions through food. Hearing about these students is pure goodness. It’s, as one WWRC board member shared, pure sunshine. Thank you to the members of Women Who Really Cook and all those touched by the tireless work of our founder, Sue Zelickson, for your contributions that make it possible for us to award these scholarships. Thank you to the selection committee for reviewing the applications and meeting to make this year’s selections. What a wonderful way to carry on the tradition of hospitality and support that’s at the foundation of Women Who Really Cook. Curious about Women Who Really Cook? I’m delighted to share with you about this focused networking community.

I’m in awe of the dynamic energy afoot throughout I’m in awe of the dynamic energy afoot throughout the three days of last week’s inaugural @cottagefoodiecon hosted by Minnesota’s own @thecottagefoodie Massive kudos to Matt Rosen (@sergeantshortbread )and his planning team for envisioning a space for cottage producers to gather in person to share best practices, inspire each other, and dream. Entrepreneurship in the cottage production space can be isolating. Cottage Foodie Con provided a literal space filled with camaraderie, connection, and good food. There was room to ask questions, to meet someone new, and to dream about the possibilities for their businesses. I was delighted to be among the support service providers in attendance. In my two workshops and my information session, I shared best practices and guiding principles of brand stories, using social media as a marketing tool, and strong, user-friendly websites. I love being able to teach others and to build community through shared knowledge. It is the most gratifying feeling in the world when someone shares that your content is valuable and inspiring for them. I can’t wait to see what pops up on the feeds of the makers who were in attendance. I learned so much from the producers themselves and from the other presenters. Keynote speakers @stephaniesdish and Alison Smith @thecakecrusaderchronicles delivered accessible, and engaging addresses. For some, this was their first-ever conference and for many it was one of their first investments in their business outside of equipment and supplies. There were so many mental lightbulbs going off. It truly was an electric space. I applaud the conference planning committee’s decision to host the event at Hennepin Technical College. We gathered in a community learning space and had the chance to interact with and enjoy the culinary training of current students. Cottage producers are influential small and micro businesses that are active in every community. Their presence speaks to a strong local identity that values creative entrepreneurship. Plans are underway for the 2027 conference. If you’re in the cottage food space or thinking about it, join us next year. I’m looking forward to it.
