with Chris Jess, Chef Instructor at Centre Wellington District High School in Fergus, Ontario.
Learn all about cooking and eating well, for your health and the health of the planet. Stroll through the garden to harvest some produce, and then help prepare lunch for all participants to enjoy. We will cover knife skills, cooking methods, and how to store food before and after cooking. Throughout the day, we will discuss topics such as organic and slow food, the 100-mile diet, being a locavore and the benefits of choosing these types of food. Chris will shed light on the barriers that exist to transition to a sustainable diet and give suggestions to overcome them. Practical information and tips will be provided on how to ensure a diverse, healthy diet through all the seasons (yes, even winter!). Recipes will also be yours to take home.
