The Feather River Land Trust invites the community to an acorn cooking class with Dana Galloway, followed by a community lunch. This event is set for March 22, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Sierra Valley Preserve Nature Center. The cost is $20 per person. Space is limited to 25 students. The event is open to all ages at least 5 years old with an adult helper — children will observe cooking.
Participants will learn how to make a hearty, delicious winter soup with acorns, says FRLT. The meal, which also includes other acorn recipes, will be made using acorns processed at an earlier class. The meal will not be vegetarian or vegan.
This traditional cooking class is presented in partnership with the Feather River Food System Collaborative. Registration is available online.
The Sierra Valley Preserve Nature Center was established as a hub for nature-based recreation and learning where visitors and locals alike can experience the wonders of Sierra Valley’s beauty, cultural richness and biodiversity, says FRLT. The new nature center and facilities include interactive exhibits, new interpretive trails and picnic areas, and year-round educational programs and activities.
