Director Veggie Cooking Demo Ideas for Farmers Market

[almondfarm]

I am going to be doing a "cooking demonstration" at a farmers market type place and am wondering if anyone does these and has anything that they are doing with different veggies? I am going to do some salsas, demo the wedgers and the mandoline and the new potato chip maker... looking for any other ideas you have?

Hi there! I have done a few cooking demonstrations at farmers markets before and they have always been a lot of fun. Some ideas for using different veggies could be making a vegetable stir fry with a variety of colorful veggies, grilling vegetable skewers with a homemade marinade, or even making a vegetable pizza using a variety of toppings such as roasted eggplant, zucchini, and peppers. You could also showcase some unique veggie dips like a roasted red pepper hummus or a spinach and artichoke dip. Another idea could be to make a veggie-based soup or stew using fresh ingredients from the market. Good luck with your demonstration and have fun experimenting with different veggie dishes!
