Locavore Food School Presents: Chef Tips and Shortcuts

Locavore Food School is a monthly, on the third Thursday of each month, offering of nutrition and cooking classes taught by volunteers and community members including farmers, local food producers, nutritionists, chefs and alternative health care practitioners.

The class- Learn about kitchen knives and fundamental knife skills, professional tricks of the trade (like how to cut an onion without crying!) and enjoy tasty recipes. Learn the right knife to use for different foods, the best knives to own and how to sharpen them and use them like a pro. Demonstrated cutting techniques including easy matchstick carrots and preparation of delicious, simple vegetable dishes.

The Instructor- “I have been teaching my love and passion for cooking for over 30 years. My own family’s history of health challenges is what sparked this passion. We changed our diet from a S.A.D. (standard American diet) to a more natural diet centered around whole grains and fresh produce. Our health improved dramatically and I have been inspired to continue to grow and learn since. My favorite recipes are in my first cookbook “The Passionate Vegetable.” Find out more information at http://www.suzannelandry.com/
