Dear friends of Bare Bones,

Please join us on Monday, May 17 to celebrate the launch of The Perennial Kitchen: Simple Recipes for a Healthy Future, Beth’s new cookbook and guide to transforming our food systems!

Register for free here on Eventbrite to receive your ticket & Zoom links.

Beth will speak with five local food heroes whose work help shaped the book:

• Prabin Bajain, Kernza researcher at The University of Minnesota

• Tracy Singleton of The Birchwood Cafe

• Sandy Boss Febbo of sustainable micro-brewery Bang Brewing

• Our old friend Kieran Folliard and his colleague Tre Hardy of Food Building

• Luke Peterson of A-Frame Farm

The fun kicks off at 6 PM CT on Zoom, and you can purchase a copy through the U of M Press partner bookseller, Excelsior Bay Books.

Want to cook with us this summer?

Join us for our very first Bare Bones Cooking Class starting June 21!

In this all-levels class, you learn how to turn farmer’s market baskets into tasty, tasty meals.

It will consist of instructional videos and optional homework, a weekly Zoom call, and support in developing your very own recipe book and cooking style – all within a community of fellow creators.

More details coming soon — for now, you can book your spot in advance here on our interest form.
