Polk Cooperative Extension Service is offering an affordable green cooking cooking class on April 5 at 2 p.m. Linda Watson of “Cook For Good” will show participants how to make dishes out of food that many people throw away. Watson will also show participants how to afford to cook with local, sustainably grown and organic ingredients.

Learn how to make double asparagus pasta, magic asparagus quiche, parsley pesto, chickpea gravy and Spanish rice. The class will help you develop new habits that will provide you with “free” meals every month. Class time is 90 minutes with a sample of double asparagus pasta.
