Eating Locally and Seasonally--the Whys and Hows of Farmers Markets
Join the Almaden Library for the third event in the FOOD FOR THOUGHT series that focuses on eating healthier while supporting the community and the environment. Our presenter for this event, Laurel Miller, is a food & travel writer AND a culinary educator based in the Bay Area and Colorado. Laurel grew up on a California ranch, which ignited her passion about the need to educate people about SEASONAL EATING and SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE. She feels that cooking is a fun and logical way to learn about both. Visit http://www.sustainablekitchen.com/ ® to learn more.
The Sustainable Kitchen® is Laurel's independently-owned contract culinary business that offers writing services, cooking classes, and farm tours that allow students a hands-on education in harvesting and foraging ingredients before using them in on-site cooking classes. LAUREL writes a food travel column for the Oakland Tribune called "Fork in the Road," and contributes to Outside, culture, Gourmet, American Cowboy, Diablo, Napa Sonoma, and Edible Aspen. She has been featured in a number of publications and on radio and television shows including Bay Area Backroads & Evening Magazine, and is currently working on her first book, a food travel memoir.
As part of the presentation, Laurel will demonstrate a farmer's market seasonal salad.
