Where The Harvest and Hillsdale Meet — Sundays 10am – 2pm

A few [...]

I hope everyone enjoyed, Chef Kathryn’s cooking demonstration. I sure did. Kathryn will be at the market the 2nd Sunday of the month. Next month Kathryn will cover sautés – what to look for in a pan, how to flip in the pan, how to make sauces. It should be a lot of fun.
