Northern New York Eating Local Workshops set for June in 3 locations!
Eating locally grown and raised foods is becoming increasing popular in the North Country. To help “locavores” shop for local products, plan meals, and prepare local vegetable dishes, the Cornell University Cooperative Extension associations of Northern New York have set the dates for the Northern New York Eating Local Yet? summer workshop.
A series of three hands-on classes will be held in Sackets Harbor at The Farm House Kitchen, in Canton at the First Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, and in Plattsburgh at the CV-TEC Culinary Kitchen.
Class instructors include chefs, restaurateurs and nutrition educators. Activities will include cutting up a chicken, making soup stock, learning how to stretch your food dollar with different cuts of meat, and trying latest tips for cooking, storing and serving tasty vegetables.
