Jamie Oliver Food Revolution at U-District Farmers Market Demo for Kids April 17th

The University District may not be the same after Jamie Oliver provides a two hour cooking lesson for kids on Saturday.  His approach has taken schools by storm and has critics a bit dumbfounded as they try to explain lousy diets.  I know that many of us on this list are a bit a head of the curve about food and it's impact on our overall health and lives.  If anyone is able to go, I would love to hear your feedback.  Read more about Jamie here.  Ms T.

We are happy to join the thousands of other folks in Washington State who have joined the Jamie Oliver Food Revolution “to localize the fight for better food at home, school and work.”  This Saturday our Chef In Residence program is back for the season with a kick-off event featuring local chefs offering one-on-one/hands–on cooking lessons for kids.  The featured technique this Sat. will be how to make a simple salad and vinaigrette.  First come, first served from 10am to noon!

The demonstration will include many annual rose pruning practices such as where to cut, how much to cut, how to use your tools properly for correct cuts, the types of roses and respective pruning techniques. Learn about roses and how to care for them, get answers to your questions by rosarians, and hear a discussion about Woodland Park Zoo’s organic management and IPM techniques used in the Rose Garden.

    The Seattle Rose Society was started in 1913, making it the oldest horticultural society in the Seattle area. An active and enthusiastic organization, the Society has a roster of over 200 members from all over Puget Sound, the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Members have a wide variety of interests in roses, including gardening, hybridizing, arranging and exhibiting roses. The Society was instrumental in the founding of the Woodland Park Rose Garden in 1924 with the help of the Lions Club.t and IPM techniques used in the Rose Garden.
