SUMMARY:Nordic Table Demo: Intro to Nordic Table with Patrice Johnson

We’ll also touch on how the environment\, migration\, and trade have both changed and preserved food traditions in both Scandinavia and Scandinavian-American communities over the past 150 years. Our menu and discussion will share just how diverse\, colorful\, and nutritious the Nordic Table can be! \nAdditional information: \n\nThis is a demonstration-style class and includes a light meal.\nCoffee and tea are provided; additional beverages are available for purchase before class.\nPlease note this menu contains fish\, pork\, gluten\, and dairy (with a vegan main dish available)\, so please reach out if you have questions about dietary accommodations.\nAdvanced registration required.
