DIY Root Cellars presented by The Chelsea Community Kitchen

Thursday, October 24, 7 - 9 pm at the Michigan Friends Center in Chelsea $20 per person. Please visit www.chelseacommunitykitchen.org to register. 
Join
esteemed experts Emily Springfield and Arika Lycan as they explore the
time-honored tradition of root cellaring. The natural cold storage
technique is as old as dirt, literally. This hands on learning
experience will answer all your questions and you will even get to take
home a mini-root cellar of your own. 
Emily
Springfield is the founder of Preserving Traditions, a SE Michigan
group dedicated to year-round local eating. She teaches classes in
gardening, food preservation, and cooking with local ingredients and is
dedicated to the idea that cooking is not a spectator sport!
Arika
Lycan works in the nonprofit sector in Ann Arbor, and spends free
evenings in her garden and/or kitchen. In her 300 sq ft backyard garden,
she grows a variety of veggies, herbs and fruits, and enjoys cooking,
canning, drying and preserving her favorite seasonal produce. 
This
class is co-sponsored by Chelsea Community Kitchen and Michigan Friends
Center and will take place at Michigan Friends Center located at 7748 Clark Lake Road in Chelsea.    http://mfcenter.org/  For questions about this class or other CCK programming contact Jane Pacheco at 734-330-4497.
