Food demo scheduled in new kitchen at Keller Library, 10 a.m. Saturday

Please join me on Saturday at 10 a.m. at the opening of Rosa F. Keller Library, 4300 Broad St., for a cooking demonstration and food talk in the library’s new kitchen. (It’s the only one of the new libraries that has a kitchen!) You can also sample one of my favorite recipes from “Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes Lost and Found from The Times-Picayune,” which I co-authored with Marcelle Bienvenu.

A Fruitful Way to Share Your Bounty

The New Orleans Fruit Tree Project is dedicated to getting fresh, local produce to those who need it most and we do that by offering free harvesting to fruit tree owners in New Orleans, Metairie and the West Bank. The fruit we harvest is donated to organizations like Second Harvest Food Bank, Covenant House and the Latino Farmers Cooperative. Last year we collected over 3,000 pounds of citrus fruit from residents and harvested in six different neighborhoods! This year our goal is to harvest 10,000 pounds and we are looking for more fruit tree owners to help us reach our goal.  

Of course, fruit tree owners are welcome to a portion of their harvest. We supply our own equipment and volunteers and work around tree owners’ schedules.  

If you or any of your friends or neighbors have fruit that is going to waste, please let them know about this service. If you have any questions, concerns or comments please do not hesitate to contact me either by email or phone. We look forward to harvesting in your neighborhoods soon!
