Channing Fullaway-Johnson posing with a student and director of Motherland Gardens.Did you happen to catch LLCC culinary educators out and about this summer? Channing Fullaway-Johnson, culinary coordinator, community education, had a busy summer sharing recipes and information on LLCC’s culinary programs and events.

She kicked off the summer in May participating in the opening day ribbon cutting at the Farmer’s Market handing out samples of her spring quinoa and asparagus salad. In June she visited the Sertoma Club for a presentation of LLCC’s Culinary Department and Community Education. In July, she presented to the Springfield Garden Club and did knife skills and chef demonstrations at the Motherland Gardens Community Project. In August she judged dietary desserts at the Illinois State Fair and judged an LLCC-sponsored event of charcuterie boards.

Watch for Channing’s recipes for quinoa salad, Asian salad and corn salad, in LincIn in the coming weeks.
