Whether you're new to napa cabbage or authority in artichokes, GrowNYC Cooks will provide a fun, interactive, and informative guided cooking experience right in your own kitchen. After registering, participants will receive an ingredient list for shopping at your neighborhood farmers market or farmstand and will prepare the meal together during the class.
Chef David will be teaching how to cook simple and delicious go-to meals so ingredient lists are flexible and can be adapted for dietary restrictions or lack of availability,
Throughout the 1.5 hour class, held via Zoom on your computer, tablet, or mobile device, you will have the opportunity to meet the other 10-20 participants and chime in with cooking questions via video or chat - video participation is optional, but encouraged!
Each class will also be joined by a representative from GrowNYC's Food Access & Agriculture programs so, depending on the class, you will learn more about a number of topics, including how to make the most out of your farmers market shopping trip, tips on going zero-waste, cooking with whole grains and flours from the GrowNYC Grains project, farmers market varieties during peak season, and how to grow your own food.

About Emerald Garden Microgreens:
https://www.emeraldgardens.farm/
While a grad student at MIT, health and personal challenges led me to leave school. I moved to Colorado when Dave, a childhood friend, pitched it as the ideal place to regroup. After landing a landscaping job, I envisioned cultivating communities by increasing access to delicious fresh food; inspired, I started planting microgreens. The more micros I grew, the more of them I ate; the more I ate, the better I felt! My health improved dramatically—even my outlook and mood shifted.
I finally experienced the renewal I had been seeking. With Dave as co-founder, we took a huge leap of faith and established Emerald Gardens Microgreens in 2017. Our mission to invigorate lives and transform communities through fresh food resonated and we developed a loyal following. Ever grateful to live our passion, we're eager to keep expanding and sharing our harvest.
