Here’s That Great Recipe All You Cool People Wanted at Flavors of the Valley

Our long-time crush is Flavors of the Valley, the most awesome local-food shindig anywhere. Sponsored by our pals at Vital Communities, this annual event was held last Sunday, and as usual, it was epic! We had a great time geeking out on local foods and small family farms, and served paella and salsa to a record-breaking crowd of more than 1,200 folks.

Many of you who stopped by our table (lookin’ at you, random Thetford person), asked if you could get a copy of the salsa recipe. The answer is, of course! This fabulous salsa comes from our Knife Skills 101 class. Learn more about our classes here.

Thanks to all the nice people who visited us at Flavors of the Valley! See you next year.
