"How we eat determines to a considerable extent how the world is used.... Eating is an agricultural act." -Wendell Berry

Taste the Season is a live cooking demonstration workshop, held on Saturdays at the Fondy Farmers Market in Milwaukee. (fondymarket.org) This energetic and interactive program introduces new fruits and vegetables to market customers, using recipes that highlight the best that Wisconsin farmers have to offer and reflecting the cultural culinary diversity of Fondy shoppers and Milwaukee. Cookbooks and cooking utensils are raffled off at each session.

Led by culinary and nutrition experts, Taste the Season lets audience members taste, learn, and share new recipes featuring the fresh, seasonal, locally-grown Wisconsin produce you find at Fondy. Food and Nutrition Program Director and registered dietitian, Lisa Kingery, is always on hand to answer any of your food and nutrition questions.

Taste the Season is also taped at studios of MATA Community Media (MCM) Channel 14 and broadcast on Milwaukee cable access TV. DVDs of the shows are shown continuously in the waiting rooms of area WIC and W-2 agencies.
