The Nourish series is an initiative we felt compelled to put together in our second season.
After our first market season in 2013, we realized we had tapped into a collective pool of knowledge unlike any other. Our local vendors were not only knowledgable about their subject and product, but personable and fantastic at transferring their passion and knowledge to others.
And so Nourish was born – to nourish the mind as well as body.
The week-long series of free workshops took place in October of 2014 with topics that included things like the basics of nutrition in both English and Arabic, to food demonstrations, inspirational talks, food photography, crafting, lifestyle, and kitchen skills.
We squeezed in as much variety as we could and capped class size at 20, to maintain intimacy in the classroom and to maximize knowledge absorption.
