Cooking with the Cap Times featuring Patience Clark


Session sponsored by Sitka Salmon Shares, Keessenich’s and Shiner Bock

Moderator: Lindsay Christians
Panelist: Patience Clark

Join us for the September edition of Cooking with the Cap Times as part of Idea Fest! Madison chef Patience Clark of Palate Pleasures will demonstrate how to make Southern-style cabbage stew in conversation with Cap Times food editor Lindsay Christians. Clark learned to cook from her great-grandmother Louise Dunlap, 98, who grew up in the South. From her, she learned Southern style dishes and how to use spices. From an aunt, Clark got a treasure trove of historic family recipes, and she’s been working on a cookbook. Click here to register to see the demonstration (an Idea Fest ticket is not needed) and you’ll receive the stew recipe a week in advance.
