In November, Global Gardens is our Change for Change partner—every cent you round up at Wild Onion Market goes to support immigrant and refugee families and their local garden spaces. We’re so excited to invite Chef Nge Meh, one of Global Gardens’ farmers. Later this month, she will teach us to prepare a traditional Burmese dish, chickpea tofu salad. |
