Urban Roots: Let’s Get Cooking with Chef Rick Lopez

Urban Roots is excited to announce a three-part video series titled “Let’s Get Cooking with Urban Roots,” sponsored by Whole Foods Market and the City of Austin Office of Sustainability. The video series will serve as a fundraiser for the organization, creating an opportunity for Urban Roots to fulfill its two-part mission: to use food and farming to transform the lives of young people and inspire, engage, and nourish the community.

For three weeks, Urban Roots will offer a box packed full of produce from the East Austin Farm, specialty selections from local Austin businesses, plus a featured recipe from three local chefs. The series will include a cooking tutorial, a message from Urban Roots Executive Director Max Elliott and our youth leaders, plus more exclusive content. On June 17, the series will launch with Homemade Salsa, Featuring Executive Chef Rick Lopez of La Condesa ($50).
