Island City Food Co-op
1st Annual Love of Food Home Tour
The Island City Food Co-op is hosting its first Love of Food Tour which is set to become an annual fundraiser. This year, the monies raised will go toward the previous purchase of our new cooler/freezer. This community education initiative is to enhance the health, nutrition value, and enjoyment of Cumberland residents. Food demonstrations, hands on participation, resources, recipes, and food samples are all part of the tour!
The first event kicking off the tour is at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, July 20th, at the Cumberland Public Library with a talk and food samples presenting Cooking Gluten Free for Friends, Family or Yourself by Katrina Hasman, a Co-op Board Member. This talk is free and open to the public.
The tour continues on Saturday, July 21st, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., at Kelly Thompson-Frater’s cabin on Little Largon Lake to learn how to make Pizza on the Grille. Learn from the dough to toppings of how to create a delicious signature pizza with local food. No specialty equipment required but a healthy appetite. Limit of 10 participants and $15 per person.
Lunch With Legumes is featured on Saturday, July 28th, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., at Patty Zais home in Cumberland to learn how to prepare and enjoy lentil burgers, kale salad and hand harvested local wild rice with garden fresh raspberries for dessert. Lentils are small yet have a mighty impact on health which is why everyone should consider including them in a regular diet. At just 230 calories for a whole cup of cooked lentils. These tiny nutritional giants fill you up—not out. Limit of 8 participants and $15 per person.
The last stop of the tour is at Island City Food Co-op, in downtown Cumberland, on Saturday, July 28th beginning at 1:30 p.m. for an Instant Pot Cooking Class, taught by Danielle Maxwell-Parker, also a Co-op Board Member. Participants will witness how to cook tasty dishes in an electric pressure cooker and then will sample. This kitchen gadget was a top holiday gift in 2017 and allows you to set it and forget it with safety features and auto-keep warm settings to ensure meals are worry-free. In addition to tips, cooking techniques, and recipes, the class menu includes: beef tips, Cheesecake #17, and steel cut oats. Fast, delicious, and nutritious fits the bill for this one-pot wonder. Limit of 20 participants and $15 per person.
