Tastings / food product comparisons are fun and informative. They deepen our understanding of what we like to eat and why, and introduce us to new favorites. Discovery Bars teach a theme, such as Winter Squash, Bay Area Chocolate, Artisan Salts, Taste of California, or Leftover Makeover. They can be paired with a live cooking demo, and attendees can vote for favorites with results and raffle winners announced at the end. Explore things like “how and why to set yourself up for leftovers” or “what produce is currently in season and how to cook it.”
