Amy Cotler is the author of the book The Locavore Way: Discover & Enjoy the Pleasures of Locally Grown Food. Come to hear her 'how-to' presentation to learn everything you need to know to buy, cook, and eat food grown, raised and produced close to home. She'll touch upon why we should eat locally, where to find local foods, how to eat locally on a budget, what questions to ask at the farmers' market, and even how to grow your own food.

Amy offers savvy shopping tips, simple guides to preparing whatever is in season, ideas for bringing out the best flavors in farm-fresh foods, and strategies to make the harvest last. She will guide you through how to build a better food system through local food advocacy, as well as a local food and sustainability glossary to unscramble terminology.

It is sure to be a fun evening of terrific local food. To purchase a ticket for this event, visit the Food and Health Forum website.
