This week’s theme: Kitchen Mathematics!
If you don’t see a connection between food, cooking, and math, by the end of this lesson, you will! More importantly, learn how to make a salad dressing that comes out perfect each time, regardless of what ingredients you have on hand. First though, we will get a close up look at what is fresh and yummy at our 32nd Street Farmers Market in Baltimore City.
Ok, TasteWise Kids – are you hungry for some learning?
Learn from an Expert: Beau Z. Johnson at the Waverly Farmers Market
Today we have Beau Johnson of the Waverly Farmers Market as our expert. Beau is the VP of the Market’s Board of Directors and handles all their media and marketing. Beau and his niece Alexys, a budding cook, give us a tour of the market and then bring us into their kitchen to show us how they put together a fresh farmers market salad! They also highlight some of their favorite vendors from the farmers market that are featured in the video.
