Culturing and harvesting young, nutrient-packed green leaves, commonly called micro greens, can have even more dense nutritional content and can have a more potent flavor than the mature leaves of the same plant.

Join us as we learn to grow microgreens at home and discover a few of the bioactive compounds in these small powerhouse plants!

Jurassic Garden’s cooking courses are here with Paleo-friendly recipes.

In our second installment, we’ll explore traditional flavors of Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. Greece’s deeply savory classic meatballs (Soutzoukakia) adapt well to the paleo diet, braised in an herbal tomato sauce and paired with crispy roasted potatoes and a cucumber salad.

This class is intended for anyone interested in cuisine. Whether you’re just a bit curious about paleo or an absolute devotee, we dive in and take a look at methods and ingredient substitutions to fit your lifestyle.

ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WILL BE FOLLOWED. MASKS ARE MANDATORY AND SOCIAL DISTANCING WILL BE ENFORCED.

Food allergen notice: Please note this class will use eggs and nuts. We cannot make accommodations for those affected by these allergens.
