With thanks to our sponsors at CAI we bring you the second annual Taste of the Earth cooking contest is this Saturday. There is still room at the table for a few more cooks to bring their culinary best to plant based foods. Once again the first place prize is a hand coiled pot made by Mashpee Wampanoag artisan Ramona Peters. Ramona is known internationally for her work to create these pots inspired by her Wampanoag heritage and made in the traditional fashion. Last year's chefs brought some delicious entries to the table. Be inspired by your garden and the local produce section. Details including the rules and a registration form can be found at bit.ly/TOTE2025. Good luck! @wcai_npr (fb)
