The Fifth Avenue BID and Community Markets are launching a weekly cooking demo series with local chefs at the Park Slope Farmers Market on Fifth Avenue between 3rd and 5th Streets (not to be confused with the one at Grand Army Plaza). Starting Sunday, Sept 15 from 2-3:30, local farm ingredients will be used to make specialties from some of your favorite nearby eateries. The schedule, so far, is as follows:

–September 26: Fumiko Akiyama of Kappa Sake House will use local produce and seafood to make two kinds of miso soup.
–October 3: a chef from Belleville will demonstrate how to make some of their Parisian Bistro fare.
–October 10: Irene Lo Re of Aunt Suzie’s will use farm-fresh ingredients to make her famous Southern Italian/Brooklyn specialties.

Additional demos are being planned. Stay tuned to the blog: All About Fifth for more details or go to communitymarkets.biz.
