Tomorrow Night!!

(UPDATE: For those of you just checking in, this lecture is happening TONIGHT, Friday, October 19th! Tickets are available at the door for $35. Contact me if you have any questions, or would like detailed directions. See you there!!)

As Wayne and I were chatting the other week, he happened to mention that they were in the midst of harvesting burdock. If only he could have seen my face light up. Fresh. Burdock. I looked like a kid in a candy store at the mere mention of it. Haha. Imagine a burdock candy store? Hairy brown roots on display in various forms, some dried, some fresh… Like you’ve stepped into some sort of scene from Harry Potter, shopping in Diagon Alley… Hmmm… burdock does kind of look like it could be a wand of sorts…

Fast forward to this week. We’re e-mailing back and forth and the topic of Wayne’s favourite recipes come up. When asked, he responded “Well, this is the time of year when I move ever closer to being obsessed with burdock Kinpira, which I like to have a serving of at least 3 times a week as part of my overall  happy taste bud experience; while keeping my immune system boosted as we transition to winter. When I make it for myself I use a little bit of toasted sesame oil”

Okay. Let me just say that “Overall happy taste bud experience” = one of my favourite e-mail quotes ever.

I think we’re in for a treat tomorrow evening, and lucky for you there are still some seats available- contact me to register!

For now, here’s a link to the carrot and burdock kinpira recipe I featured last year. Next week, I’m going to show you one of my favourite ways to use it as a leftover… it’s super tasty and fun!! Can’t wait!
