AT A GLANCETo participate in next Thursday’s recipe exchange at Ooltewah Farmers Market:* Find one recipe to share.* Make sure it includes ingredients found at the market.* Bring two copies, typed if possible.* Tell those assembled a little about the dish, if desired (not required).* Take home a stapled photocopy of all contributed recipes.
The first step in cooking a meal is gathering the ingredients — a common practice in summer at area farmers markets and produce stands. On Thursday, June 27, the Ooltewah Farmers Market will add another step in the process with a recipe exchange.
“It’s so much fun to cook with the wonderful things you find each week at the farmers market, and it’s always fun to try new recipes,” says a news release from officials at Ooltewah Nursery & Landscape Co., 5829 Main St., where the market is held each Thursday.
Participants should select a single, favorite recipe they wish to share that features fresh, seasonal produce.
“Not all of the ingredients must come from the market, but at least some should,” say organizers.
