6:00 — FOOD
One-Meal-For-All with Paula Marcoux
Food historian Paula Marcoux will prepare a meal that is as celebratory as it is sustainable. Participants will start with a bowl of protein-filled vegan soup made from nixtamalized corn and an array of the season’s produce, cooked in a giant cauldron over a wood fire, and then customized with garden-fresh or wood-fire-roasted garnishes — a scatter of herbs, some roasted sweet peppers, a dab of searing hot chile paste, a scrap of delectable roast meat. Tapping into bits of cultural brilliance from around the world, we will explore the best of what the season and locale bring us, all cooked with fire.
