Amanda credits her foodie fervor to rural Minnesota roots and a childhood of canning pickles and making jam from the garden. Homemade traditions run deep, and her joy for cooking was whipped into frothy new heights when she stumbled upon a Healthy, Fresh & Zingy class at Hipcooks. Amanda is now on the teaching side of the island and eager to share her enthusiasm. Let Amanda takes you on a shopping trip through your garden, your local market and your pantry to create a fabulous meal!
