In case you haven’t spotted the news on the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Facebook page or the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market Facebook page, there’s a free cooking demo TODAY (Friday, August 8) with chef Adam Hegsted at the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market (806 W Knox).

The event ties in with National Farmers Market Week and will feature recipes provided by the Washington State Farmers Market Association using fresh market-sourced ingredients. It’s actually a “no-cook” cooking demo that will showcase kitchen knife skills and amazing low-cost dishes that are possible without even turning on the oven.

The Inlander highlighted the event in yesterday’s Entrée e-newsletter, and The Spokesman-Review highlighted it on this week’s Fresh Sheet.

Even if the demo isn’t up your alley, there are plenty of reasons to make the market today. Fannie’s Ice Pops will be back — they were a huge hit last week — and new this week are Spokane Family Farm (with fresh, local milk) alongside Mama Torres Salsa.
