About this Event

Curious about farm-to-table cooking? Plant-based eating? Eating with the season?

Experience authentic farm-to-table plant-based cooking alongside award-winning cookbook author Melanie Albert of Experience Nutrition and Farmer Billy Anthony, Lead Grower at The Farm at South Mountain, Phoenix, Arizona.

We’ve all heard the terms: farm-to-table, eat local, eat with the season, and plant-based. This fun, hands-on, interactive cooking class is your opportunity to experience this exciting way of cooking first-hand in the beauty of The Farm at South Mountain with Farmer Billy Anthony, and plant-based intuitive cooking expert, Melanie Albert.

Behind the Scenes: What’s Growing?

The week before the cooking class experience, Melanie and Billy will walk through the Soil & Seed Garden at The Farm and begin to determine the food to harvest for the class, including all kinds of roots, greens, herbs, edible flowers, and other surprises. The morning of the class, Billy and his team will harvest the beautiful fresh produce. A few hours later, you’ll be creating a few beautiful, tasty, healthy dishes with the just-harvested food.
