THIS EVENT IS VIRTUAL ONLY ON ZOOM; REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Berries add flavor and festive color to dishes from appetizers and drinks to dessert, plus they are classic ingredients for Valentine’s Day cooking. Enjoy a demonstration and tip-filled discussion about the most flavorful ways to cook with fresh, frozen, freeze-dried and dried berries plus berry jams and condiments throughout the season. Join us for a festive celebration of berries, plus pick up inspired ideas for caring for ourselves and others through natural and delicious home cooking. This program features Vanessa Young of the Thirsty Radish. Register here early as there are limits for the number of attendees.
