Cook with me on Earth Day in Seattle

Fear not the artichoke

On May 22nd, Earth Day, here’s what I’ll be doing: teaching a class on how to cook all the various (and sometimes confusing) vegetables and fruits that show up in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) or show up at stands at farmer’s markets. Along with this, I’ll be talking about how we can all waste a lot less fresh produce. I’ll be doing this at the fabulous independent culinary bookstore The Book Larder here in Seattle.

Most of you know that I don’t teach a lot of classes these days due to book deadlines. (So far in 2012, I’ve taught just two.) So if you want to come cook with me, sign up! Although just announced, the 24 slots are filling up quickly.

In the meantime, tell me this: what fruit or vegetables confuse you the most? You know, the ones where you look at them and think, ”I really don’t know what to do with that…”
