Taste the Season is a live cooking demonstration workshop, held on Saturdays, June 25th through October 1st, 9am to noon at the farmers market. This energetic and interactive program introduces new fruits and vegetables to market customers, using recipes that highlight the best that Wisconsin farmers have to offer and reflecting the cultural culinary diversity of Fondy shoppers and Milwaukee.

Led by culinary and nutrition experts, Taste the Seasonlets audience members taste, learn, and share new recipes featuring the fresh, seasonal, locally-grown Wisconsin produce you find at Fondy. Food and Nutrition Program Director and Registered Dietitian, Lisa Kingery, is always on hand to answer any of your food and nutrition questions.

Taste the Season is also taped at studios of MATA Community Media (MCM) Channel 14 and broadcast on Milwaukee cable access TV. DVDs of the shows are shown continuously in the waiting rooms of area WIC and W-2 agencies. They are also available for purchase.
