Free Cooking Class with the Indigenous Food Lab
By MICHELLE SHAW
Please join us August 12 for our next Minneapolis Edible Boulevards cooking class at the new Indigenous Food Lab Market, located just inside Midtown Global Market. We’re super excited to partner with North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems’ Culinary Program Manager Ismael Popoca Aguilar and his fabulous cooks, Riva Garcia and Vern Defoe. Riva and Vern will teach us how to make Wild Rice Salad with Beans, Roasted Pepita and Sumac. Registration can be found on our Facebook event, or reach out via email. If you can’t attend in person, we’d love to see you on Zoom.
We typically hold classes in community gardens to highlight where neighbors can find fresh produce and a space to garden in their neighborhood. In August, we’re co-hosting with the new Indigenous Food Lab Market. They have incredible offerings at the food counter that are made from all Indigenous ingredients. The shop also sells goods from Native-owned businesses so please check it out.
In other news, be on the lookout for our 2023 gardens going in on the Southside with our new signs that were funded by the Joint Green Zone Task Force.… Read the rest “Free Cooking Class with the Indigenous Food Lab”
