Peggy Notebaert Museum
2430 N. Clark St.
Chicago, IL 60614

Chicago chef extraordinaire Paul Kahan (Blackbird, avec, The Publican, Big Star, Nico Osteria and others) will be teaming up with rising culinary artist Tess Boghossian, a 12 year old from Palatine, to do a cooking demonstration at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, November 15 at the Green City Market’s indoor location, the Peggy Notebaert Museum (2430 N. Clark St.). The demonstration will feature Boghossian’s creation, Lincoln’s Inaugural Soup, a recipe that won the praise of First Lady Michelle Obama in her “Healthy Lunchtime Challenge.”

As a part of the Let’s Move! initiative to encourage healthy lifestyles, the demonstration also will include a simple, affordable, and healthy recipe to make at home.

After being inspired by the duo’s healthy take on the soup President Lincoln was served after his inauguration, guests may shop Green City Market’s wide selection of fresh and local goods to spark their own creativity for healthy recipes. The market is open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

About Tess Boghossian
Tess is a 12-year old from Palatine, Illinois who swooned Michelle Obama with her “Lincoln’s Inaugural Soup Recipe” that she submitted to the First Lady’s Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. Her winning recipe earned her a trip to the White House and a seat at the presidential dinner table with President Barack Obama and the 53 other winners, one from each state. An avid reader and history enthusiast, Tess was inspired by the soup her favorite president, Abe Lincoln was served after his inauguration. She approached the old recipe with a mission of making it healthier while paying tribute to Lincoln. After laboring in the kitchen for a few days, Tess perfected Lincoln’s Inaugural Soup by adding whole grains, lean protein, and lots of vegetables. See recipe below.
