Join Stephanie Oelsligle Jordan, Sustainable Solano’s Local Food Program Manager, for a cooking class that explores what to do with those beet greens, carrot tops, potato peels and more! Chef Steph will walk through several recipe ideas, discuss meal planning strategies and food expiration dates, and demonstrate a simple vegetable broth made from scraps as well as a seasonal pesto. Information on new food waste laws affecting Benicia will start the class and an audience Q & A will take place at the end.
