Uprooted: A Holistic Cooking Series
Introducing Uprooted: A Holistic Cooking Series
Uprooted is a recently-launched YouTube series hosted by our very own Zack Woods. While seasonal food and its preparation will be highlighted in the series, the primary goal is to drive deeper conversations about the connecting power of cuisine. This series will bring in guest chefs and a variety of styles of cooking to showcase their talents and share their favorite recipes with YOU!
For our first episode, Zack prepares a beautiful rendition of Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers with both a vegetarian and meat filling. (Trust...both were delicious!)
Recipe and Ingredients:
- 6 large bell peppers
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

If you or someone you know has a food story worth telling, we’d love to hear from you. We are putting together a powerful lineup of guests (chefs, growers, purveyors, tastemakers, etc.) for the Spring and Summer cooking calendar.
