News for Foodies 09.08.16

At “Garden to Table: Eating for Wellness,” a program on Saturday at Bridge Gardens in Bridgehampton, Rick Bogusch, the garden manager, will lead a trip to the site’s vegetable garden to harvest fresh vegetables, and will demonstrate how to create a delicious salad from them, which will be shared. Barbara Kinnier of the Wellness Foundation of East Hampton will explain how one can get all needed nutrients and protein from a plant-based diet. Those attending have been invited to take a picnic of vegetarian foods to share. The cost is $10 per person, and reservations, with the Peconic Land Trust in Southampton, are required.
