Healthy Cooking Demos
Free cooking demos take place in the Main Exhibit Hall
Presented by Nourish on Saturday, September 25
Karen Masterson opened Big Fresh Café in Framingham in 2003 to offer well-sourced food at reasonable prices in a fast, casual atmosphere. In the summer of 2009 she sold the café and opened nourishrestaurant in Lexington, MA to provide responsibly sourced and respectfully priced food in a full service atmosphere including art and music. She believes that changing our current food system to provide good food at prices that allow for an economically diverse clientele should also be fun and tasty. Visit www.nourishlexington.com.
