Nanna's Kitchen to Whip up Butternut Squash Soup at Wyandotte Farmers Market

A Wyandotte restaurant owner will be shopping, cooking and then handing out free samples of a dish created with items available from the Wyandotte Farmers Market.

Steve Mikhail of Nanna's Kitchen will be whipping up some butternut squash soup. He'll purchase the ingredients at the market, cook it inside his business and then serve up free samples in his tent at the market from 1 to 3 p.m. Thursday.

The event, being called Farm to Fork, is intended to "dazzle you with culinary delights made from products at our market," according to Natalie Rankine, director of the Wyandotte Downtown Development Authority, which sponsors the weekly market.

Recipe cards and free farmers market tote bags also will be available at Nanna's tent on Thursday.

The farmers market, now in its third year, is held at the corner of Elm and First streets from noon to 7 p.m. Thursdays. It runs through Oct 18.

The market began in 2010 with nine vendors and has 23 vendors signed up for this year. (For a full list, along with descriptions of the items they'll be selling, visit the farmers market website.)
