Food sampling in Potsdam

Pasta al Cavolfiore (Pasta with Cauliflower) is October’s offering for “Dinner’s in the Bag!” at the Potsdam Food Co-op. A modification of a Moosewood Cookbook recipe, it features local cauliflower simmered in a flavorful marinara sauce. Served over pasta and topped with a combination of cheddar and parmesan cheese, it is a perfect meal for the Fall. Comforting and tasty as cooler weather sets in, this recipe can easily be adjusted for smaller portions by cooking half the pasta and freezing the remaining sauce for a quick and easy dinner another time! Samples will be offered by Big Spoon Kitchen at the 1st Thursday Sampling on October 4th from 3:30 - 5:30 pm. Meal-Kits will also be available all month for purchase, complete with the recipe and Co-op ingredients to make the meal at home. Each month “Dinner’s in the Bag!” will present a new recipe to try, along with the ingredients to take home and create yourself. The Meal-Kits offer the convenience of having everything gathered with all that is needed to make a quick and nutritious meal in your own kitchen, no planning required. The Potsdam Food Co-op & Carriage House Bakery is located at 24 Elm St. It is open daily from 8am to 7pm. It is a member-owned cooperative grocery store (although membership is not required) where everyone is welcome to shop and anyone is welcome to join. Committed to the community and local sustainability, its emphasis is on providing natural and organic foods with the practice of buying from local and regional growers and producers. A large selection of specialty foods such as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan foods are also available.
