Learn about California’s Indigenous cuisines, and make a delicious salad, along with Sara Calosa Olson, author of Chími Nu’am: Native California Foodways for the Contemporary Kitchen.

Sara will teach us about “The Three Sisters,” an advanced agricultural technique developed by the Haudenosaunee people to enhance biodiversity, attract pollinators, and deter weeds and pests by planting a trio of beans, corn, and squash.
