Chef Ricky Moore will helping the Carrboro Farmer's Market kick off its Wednesday market season on April 14 with the market's first culinary series.
Once a month at a Wednesday afternoon market, a chef will show consumers how to cook a familiar seasonal ingredient. Moore's challenge: chard.
"Chard is an ingredient that many people feel they know how to cook already, but there are many ways to cook and eat this beautiful green," Moore said in a press release. "We're looking forward to having some fun and creating some good food with this event."
Moore, a former Iron Chef contestant, now works at Giorgio restaurant in Cary but used to work at Glasshalfull in Carrboro.
The Wednesday market is 3:30-6:30 p.m.
