Inter-Faith Food Shuttle and Logan’s Trading Company teamed up again at their Spring Fling last weekend! Chef Terri was there for a cooking demo, teaching everyone how to use their fresh herbs and vegetables for cooking. Whether or not you were there in person to smell the delicious aromas, Chef Terri gave us her secret, and it is now here for you as a RIPE RECIPE:
Primavera Pancakes with Radish Butter
