From the Roota to the Toota
Step into the kitchen with award-winning chef and writer Amethyst Ganaway for a lively, hands-on class rooted in the traditions of her upcoming cookbook, From the Roota to the Toota. Inspired by the Southern phrase “from the rooter to the tooter,” this experience celebrates cooking with intention and making the most of what we have while honoring history, culture, and sustainability. Learn the art of preparing wild game, offal, and more, with Chef Ganaway leading the way through technique, story, and flavor.
