Sept 21, 2010 (7 - 9pm) - Cooking with Your Local Harvest
Come join Holistic Nutritionist and Chef Barb Thomas for a hands-on cooking workshop that will teach you how to whip up some simple meals using food grown right here in Calgary! If you have a garden, we highly encourage you to bring some of your own harvest to the class so that it can be turned into a tasty meal. Special guest Wade Sirois - a renowned local foods advocate, chef and owner of Infuse Catering and Forage - will also be at the workshop to speak about local food and answer questions. Maximum number of participants is 20.
Ingredients will be provided along with all recipes and instruction about nutrition and the “how to” about working to get the most out of our foods in relation to flavour and health. Please remember that you are encouraged to bring along any produce from your own garden plot.
Cost: $55 (includes ingredients & instruction)
