COOKING CLASSES:
Local Food, Global Flavor: Fresh Herbs
May 18, 2016, 6:00-8:00 PM
Marquette Food Co-op, 502 W. Washington, Marquette, MI
Fresh herbs offer an easy way to add both seasoning and nutrition to our
food at the same time. In addition to being nutritionally dense, they add
flavor, so you’re less likely to add salt or sugar to the dish. How to use the
herbs, however, is a question asked a lot. This class will feature recipes
that will utilize a wide variety of fresh herbs, and are so good you might
just want to start your own little herb garden.
