The Wonders of Wild Foods Demo with Derek Nicholas

Derek Nicholas (Red Cliff Band Ojibwe) is the founder of Wiisinig LLC and author of the Indigenous cookbook Through Food We Know Ourselves. He will demonstrate a recipe utilizing wild rice and other local wild edibles, and speak to some of the connections between food and identity for the Anishinaabeg people as he cooks.

This is a demonstration-style class that includes a light meal. Coffee and tea are provided; additional beverages are available for purchase before class. Please reach out if you have questions about dietary accommodations.

ASI’s food programs connect people as we celebrate, learn, and share stories together through cooking workshops, demonstrations, dinners, and lectures. ASI’s Our Shared Table series highlights our neighbors’ kitchens and how food traditions are preserved and changed through the universal experience of migration and exchange.
