News we need from Marquette
by Noah Lenstra 29 Sep '22

29 Sep '22

https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2022/09/28/teens-cook-marquette-food-c… "MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Teens are learning to cook in Marquette. The Peter White Public Library held a teen cooking class at the Marquette Food Co-op. The library invited kids from ages 11 to 18 to learn how to make different dishes using fresh and local food. On the menu Wednesday was shakshuka, a North African dish consisting of a poached egg in tomato sauce. Organizers say the event was a fun way to learn important life skills. “It’s very hands-on learning,” said Amanda Pierce, Peter White Public Library teen coordinator. “We show them a few techniques then they cook the whole recipe from start to finish. It’s just a way to give the kids some life skills and make it fun for them.” This free event was held at the Marquette Food Co-op Wednesday from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. The Peter White Public Library’s next event is a costume swap this Saturday. It will be accepting costumes through Friday."
