Spring Philanthro-Party Cooking Demo!

This beautiful spring afternoon PhilanthroParty combined organic gardening, conscientious cooking, a documentary,  and feeding the needy.   Here's the recipe! 1. Take a top local chef, Matt from Heirloom LA,  who donated his time, talent,  home-grown veggies... and 4 entirely WHOLE, lovingly raised chickens. To prepare us for a meal we will cook and serve at a homeless shelter, he taught  a bunch of us LemonAID Warriors how to cook  a healthy meal.
