Warning: don’t read this post if you’re hungry and don’t have access to a tween to send to class on Friday. On a related note, anyone have a ten-year old I can borrow? ;)

African-American food and culture
Friday, February 5, 2010
4:00-6:00 p.m.
Greenlake PCC (7504 Aurora Ave N)
PCC members: $30, non-members: $35
Ages 8-12

For ages 8 to 12; children work independently of parents. To commemorate Black History Month, this class highlights some of the traditions of African-American food, which is steeped in the practice of sustainable agriculture. Eating foods cultivated on plantations, in gardens and on family farms played a key role in African-American culture. Kids will work together to create a delicious meal with Patrice [Savery]‘s family recipes of Johnny Cakes with Black-eyed Peas, Citrus Kale Salad, Sweet Potato Pie and Crispy Apple Fritters, while learning about some of the culinary traditions of African-American culture. Vegetarian, with dairy and eggs.
