Karla Stockli represents the California Fig Advisory Board. California dried figs, which are a staple ingredient available year-round, easily fit into today's food trends. She'll discuss nutrition, varieties, harvest and explain how to substitute dried figs for fresh ones. Sandy Grossman-Morris is the owner and designer of Sandy Grossman-Morris Design, and she's going to show how her company uses a Giclee process to reproduce images on canvas, which results in ones that are vivid in color and water resistant. Gazpacho is a cold vegetable soup with tomatoes as the main ingredient. Carol Fenster, a nutritionist and author, will demonstrate her version of gazpacho that offers a time-saving shortcut. Even those who are gluten intolerant can eat it since she doesn't use bread as a thickener. Her company is Savory Palate.
