Perennial foods dinner in your home with James Beard Award-winning food writer Beth Dooley

Enjoy a sustainably and locally sourced, one-of-kind dinner for six (6) in your own home prepared by renowned food writer and Minneapolitan Beth Dooley.

The menu will be inspired by Beth's latest book The Perennial Kitchen and feature recipes that embrace regenerative agriculture, the method of growing small and large crops with ecological services. You'll enjoy a meal that's delicious and healthy, made from ingredients that help to retain topsoil, sequester carbon, and return nutrients to the soil.
