The Loft - Teen Center

Color your world (and rice) purple using red cabbage as a natural food dye!

We're cooking with color this summer! Join us for the sixth installment of our Teens in the Kitchen: Color Your World Summer Series, where we'll be making purple rice!

We'll be cooking rice with red cabbage and seasoning, creating a delicious purple dish you can serve as a side, in burritos, or even stir fries. 

You'll get a recipe with steps on preparing this dish at home and get to taste the rice we made together. 

No experience is necessary and all ingredients and materials will be provided. 

No registration required- just show up ready to cook!  email Jenna at jjones@nlrlibrary.org for more information.
