This Saturday at the Wake Forest Farmers Market the multi-talented market manager, Robin Hendricks, will demonstrate her cooking, whipping up a dish or dishes using market ingredients. She said she might make squash fritters, “A simple easy dish that can be served hot when made but, it’s also a quick snack cold on the run.”
Nutritious, too, like so much of what you will find at the market, which is open from 8 a.m. to noon in the parking lot along North White Street behind CVS.
The squashes, melons, corn and potatoes have a precursor to Vitamin A that helps with healing and flavonoids to help the immune system remain strong. All of the different tomatoes, from heritage to just-developed, contain lycopene and other chemicals that are antioxidants that help repair cells and fight cancers. So eat up, eat well and eat healthy.
This week’s entertainer is Shawn Deena. Remember the market does not pay the weekly performers; show your appreciation with a few dollars in the tip jar.
