Watermelon Extravaganza
From the event description:
Watermelon is in-season — sweet and watery the way it should be. But do you ever eat watermelon in any other way than just chunks in a bowl for dessert or snack? There is so much more to cook with watermelon. In this class, Chef Jacobsen will show you how to grill watermelon and make an unusual salad with it. Then, he'll lead you into making a fast and tasty watermelon sorbet. This class features a knife skills portion, showing you how to properly cut a watermelon, without cutting your fingers.
When: Friday, Aug. 2, 6:30 p.m.
Where: Whole Foods Market, 1210 N.W. Couch St., Floor 2
Price: $25
