Celebrate local and seasonal eating with A Very Earth Eats Christmas. "The tradition of using the seasonal ingredients is what brings these things out during the holidays," says Chef Daniel Orr, the mastermind behind our holiday feast today.
During this hour-long program, we prepare roast duck, parsnip soup, a goat cheese cheese ball and foraged mushrooms. He'll have some help preparing the food from three old friends. We'll share stories, have some laughs and taste a lot of food.
The day wouldn't be complete without some holiday music by southern Indiana-based singer-songwriter Krista Detor. So, pour yourself some eggnog, cozy up with a warm sweater and join us as we celebrate A Very Earth Eats Christmas. Annie Corrigan is your host.
