A new culinary series begins this weekend with Elizabeth Germain’s workshop Work. Play. Eat. at Hob Knob in Edgartown. This is the first of several winter weekends teaching sustainable cuisine.

This first event pays homage to the Vineyard’s sustainable roots, inspiring busy working people to find fun and function in the kitchen. Ms. Germain will lead participants to sustainable farm-to-table solutions for preparing, cooking and eating foods which not only taste good and make you feel good, but are also good for the earth.
