Cook in the Market with the Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market Association
Beginning May 6 and continuing through the month of October, join Chef John Silva at the Jack London Square Farmers’ Market on the first and last Sundays of the month for Cookin’ in the Market. Chef Silva and the PCFMA have developed an innovative program called Cookin’ in the Market that brings live cooking demonstrations to farmers’ markets and other community events. The program is a response to the pre-packaged, heavily processed and fast foods that have become so prominent in American meals. Chef Silva’s cooking demonstrations and tastings will show just how quick and easy it can be to prepare healthy dishes using seasonally fresh fruits and vegetables. The cooking demonstrations (10AM-2PM) will have the freshest products of the season from local farmers. Cookin’ in the Market emphasizes fresh ingredients, healthy recipes and easy preparations to demonstrate that anyone, regardless of time or talent, can cook fresh and nutritious foods that not only taste better, but are also better for you, too. www.pcfma.com
