The next installment of Cooperative Extension’s “Good Cooks Series” will be held at 5:30 p.m. on April 26 in the conference room of the Community Services Center in Sylva.

Local “Good Cook” Josh Wilkey will demonstrate the steps in baking salmon and making your own fresh asparagus with homemade Hollandaise sauce. 

Wilkey is a native of Jackson County. Although he has had no formal culinary training, he is passionate about food and cooking.

“If friends are looking for a good steakhouse in Reno or a great burger joint along Route 66, I’m the guy they call for a recommendation,” Wilkey said.

His passion began at an early age, watching his great-grandmother Elizabeth Clayton cook and make candy.

Space is limited so please call early to reserve a seat by April 23. Cost for the program is $3.
