The Boston Public Market Kitchen

Chef Vanessa
The Kitchen at The Boston Public Market hosts a variety of programs including cooking lessons and workshops.  Many of them are for a fee ranging somewhere between $9-$60, with a discount for Members.

However, they also offer a free weekly cooking demo on Thursdays sponsored by Project Bread, which focuses on fast, fresh and delicious recipes.  These demos are led by Chef Vanessa Labranche, who is happy to chat with the audience as she prepares the day's recipe, although Chef Guy Koppe was a capable substitute one week.

Through these demos, I found myself not only sampling, but enjoying, dishes such as West African Chicken Peanut Stew, Red Beans in Coconut Sauce, and Soba Noodles with Stir Fried Vegetables.
