The Ties that Bind

Chesapeake Farm & Bay to Table

Season 3 kicks off with a focus on sharing meals that bring people together as a family and a community! These meals are a reflection of cultural heritage and family traditions.

Three recipes will be prepared by hosts Harford County Public Library CEO Mary Hastler and Chef John Shields with special guest Alicia Wilson with The Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Health System who was also The Afro American's Baltimore 2021 Newsmaker of the Year: an African-inspired sweet potato and peanut soup, deviled eggs, beignets with dipping sauce plus chocolate-covered strawberries.

Also joining the program will be a group of youth who Ms. Wilson mentors. They will visit the 32nd Street Farmers Market and then head to Gertrude's Chesapeake Kitchen for a cooking lesson.
