Thanksgiving Table: A Cooking Demonstration.
Autumn vegetables are the best, and they are perfect for Thanksgiving. Please join me for Thanksgiving Table — a live cooking demonstration at the Tucson Village Farm on Thursday, November 21 from 4:00-6:00pm. (REGISTRATION FORM) I will be showing attendees how to make three Thanksgiving side dishes that also double as main courses for our vegetarian friends. (There is nothing sadder than seeing a vegetarian at the Thanksgiving table with a plate of mashed potatoes and peas.)
The three dishes are: Farro and Delicata Squash Salad, White and Sweet Potato Gratin, and Sicilian Pumpkin Caponata. Many of these vegetables are available at the Tucson Village Farm Market on Wednesday afternoons from 4:00-6:00pm.
Again, I know this benefits our local Tucson community, so thank you to all my worldwide subscribers for reading this. NB: If your community has a program like this, please support it and make a difference for the young people where you live. If you are so moved by Tucson’s program, you are welcome to make a gift through their website, Support the Healthy Living Ambassadors. (Write in 4-H HLA as the designation)
I hope to see you there! Space is limited so register early!

October 23, 2024 at 7:23 amI don’t know any vegetarians but am certain these sides would be appreciated by everyone. I have fond memories of 4-H from my young teenage years, so glad you are supporting it for today’s generation of young people. You are a good guy, David!

October 24, 2024 at 4:42 pmCongratulations on doing such great work David. All of those dishes look very good. It’s interesting I’ve never used farro, I lean towards burghul wheat for a healthy grain option, so I will be buying some farro, perhaps the health food shop. Also what a wonderful way to serve sweet potatoes. I’m by no means vegetarian, but I love vegetables cooked in interesting ways and caponata, yum. I see you receive the occasional promo comments too!
