My family table is growing farm to table this Summer!
I begin teaching and cooking with the participants of the Prairie Farm corps tomorrow, the first "Food Revolution Wednesday" out of 15 glorious days. I cannot believe I get to be a part of this extraordinary program alongside Leslie Grill, the full time Prairie Farm Corps Kitchen Coordinator. She is a gift and boy do I love that red hat!
A year ago, I was invited as a Farm to Table lunch guest. I left inspired and began meeting with Eric Carlberg (Prairie Farm Corps Director + Educator) last Fall to become more involved with their food education programming. I am honored and so very grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Prairie Farm Corps team and in doing so, connect them to one of my most treasured friends in the Food Revolution community:
Terri Salminen | Friend. Private Chef. Culinary Instructor. Food Stylist. Writer. JOFR Super Ambassador. Member of the Slow Food Chefs Alliance.
Ever since Terri and I found ourselves to be reading Michael Pollan's "Cooked" at the same time two years ago, our lives and dreams have become interwoven in a modern day penpal friendship. T minus four weeks and counting, we'll be moving from "on the line" into "real time".
"The Kitchen Notebook - A guide to cooking beautiful food with a storehouse of pantry ingredients" will serve as the kitchen methodology in our team effort. Terri is the driving genius of this collection of thoughts and recipes and I am having a ball contributing my passion and experience into our first food education collaboration... or should I say ignition.
