We are so excited to launch a new series of Free Events every Friday from 6-7pm. Together we will taste, learn, swap, and make - every month!

1/16 COMMUNITY COOKBOOK SWAP
Refresh your cookbook collection with some fellow food nerds! Bring one well loved cookbook that you are ready to pass along and swap for a new cookbook to add to your culinary library!

1/23 MAKER SPOTLIGHT: RON CARTER OF OAKLAND HONEY CO.
Learn all about how Ron got started in beekeeping and the importance that honey bees play in our daily lives. There will be a sample tasting, and an opportunity for Q & A and a lively discussion!

1/30 MAKING PRESERVED LEMONS IN COMMUNITY
This is part of a new series we are calling “Making in Community” where many hands make light work of a labor intensive kitchen project. This month we are salt-curing winter citrus! Bring your own lemons, limes or kumquats along with your own jars; we’ll provide the sea salt and the community vibes!

2/6 WATER KEFIR DEMO
Join Preserved owner Elizabeth Vecchiarelli for a free demo on how to make water kefir that tastes great and supports a robust microbiome! We will answer your burning questions about this delightful soda-like beverage. Tasting included!

While these events are completely free, they do require reservation. Check out our full schedule linked in bio s you don’t miss out!
