OKT’s newest team member, Toni Scott, is leading OKT's free May 10 Cook, Eat and Talk event taking place at 10 a.m., Sherman Street Church, 1000 Sherman St. SE. This month's menu includes root vegetable patties and savory collard greens over yellow grits. “I just love to feed people,” Ms. Scott says. “I especially like to grill, all year long. I grill turkey, vegetables–when I don’t eat vegetables, I feel sluggish.”
Last year, Toni got many of her vegetables from the OKT container garden she tended with her family. However, that wasn’t her first exposure to gardening. She grew up in a health-conscious family. “My dad had a garden behind the garage and mom cooked from scratch for my four brothers, two sisters and me.”
One of the only times Toni got in trouble as a youngster was when she ate some fruit from a neighbor’s tree. She hasn’t had any trouble impressing the folks at the last two Cook , Eat & Talk events. Her nutritious recipes are a little taste of heaven—plus they are healthy, simple to make and use inexpensive ingredients.
