On Monday, August 4, local families will be able to sample the Eastern Shore take on the Chorizo, a spicy pork sausage originating in Iberia and popular in Latin America. Easton’s Multicultural Resource Center is announcing that for the second year in a row, Chef Jordan Lloyd and Cottingham Farms are teaming up for an evening featuring healthful eating. From 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. families will enjoy a cooking demonstration and recipes from the Bartlett Pear Inn’s Chef Jordan and each family will receive free sausage and fresh vegetables. The Center is located at 109 N. Aurora Street in Easton.
Heritage pork for this healthful menu comes from Black Bottom Farms in Kent County where Kim Wagner raises pork, veal and poultry – all pastured, all of which are favorites at the farmer’s markets in both Easton and on Kent Island. Wagner, with the generous support of Tom Buckmaster of Easton, was instrumental in the conception of a Family Night based on healthful eating.
