Sign me up for this workshop
Cooking with Renewable Energy
September 9
10:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.
$85.00
For cooking you need natural gas or electric power, right? Well… not
really. It’s quite possible to put lip-smacking meals together without
having to go back to fossil fuels, and this workshop shows you how. We’ll
learn the basics of cooking with a solar oven and a wood burning
cook stove – plus a few more surprises! We’ll see which
electrical cooking appliances can work well in an off-grid home and
how to minimize purchased fossil fuel use for cooking. We'll work with
whatever mother Nature gives us this day and see what kind of yummy dishes
we can concoct, sharing tips, recipes, ideas and lots of fabulous
food. Be prepared to help with the preparations and to snack away on our
creations all day long! Good food, good company - and green energy.
