Food Lab with Laura Ziman
Wednesday, April 11, 1:30 – 3pm

In this workshop participants will be making explorations with edible items, making and creating food using limited resources and seeing how we can expand our view of what we eat using available, inexpensive and healthy items. The items we will be using will be colorful and by mashing, mixing, rolling and cooking, lovely food will result. After a brief talk and demo, participants will be involved with every aspect of the food making.
