Editor's note: This story is part of Southwest Michigan's Second Wave's On the Ground Kalamazoo series. I grew up in a French Canadian household and my earliest memories are of seeing my Memé (grandma) cooking at the kitchen table. I desperately wanted to help. Chubby fingers pointing, pigtails bouncing, I couldn't contain my excitement. Looking back, I am forever grateful to my Memé for the patience and love she shared with me through her cooking.

KVCC’s Food Innovation Center offers far more than the typical academic experience. Students are taught both the enterprise and values of an industry they want to build, from supporting area farmers to servicing local restaurants and cafeterias to serving those less fortunate. It just won a multi-million-dollar federal grant for that.
