WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Wild Oats Market, a cooperatively-owned market focusing on local and organic foods, will host its second cooking and nutrition class, with local dietitians Deborah Blood and Sheri Iodice, on Thursday evening, June 25, from 7 to 8 pm.
Thursday night’s class will concentrate on easy ways to prepare delicious, healthy dishes for summer dining. “Whether it’s for company, family, or a potluck gathering, summer meals should be simple to prepare. And with all the local foods available at this time of year, there are many creative ways to prepare easy meals made with the fresh, local, organic ingredients found at Wild Oats,” said Deborah.
The class will cover new and different ways to use fresh seasonal produce, quick meals that can be prepared ahead of time, and ways to combine leftovers into delicious and fun family meals. Since summer is picnic season, Deborah and Sheri will offer festive ideas for inexpensive, tasty, health-conscious picnic fare. At the end of the evening, the class will have a chance to sample some of Deborah’s and Sheri’s scrumptious recipes (prepared by Wild Oats).
The evening is free to all. Please sign up at Wild Oats Market, 320 Main Street, Williamstown, or call the store at 413-458-8060.
