Katie Reicher and Nicole Edwards lead a free, all-ages Foodwise demonstration on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Recipes and samples are included.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
Winter squash sets Foodwise’s November theme, while Hodo brings a separate farmers-market history to the same 45-minute session with Greens chefs Katie Reicher and Nicole Edwards. The listing names the featured maker and produce theme, but not a specific dish.
Foodwise identifies winter squash as November’s Seasonal Spotlight and says the demonstration will feature Hodo products alongside Reicher and Nicole Edwards. It does not name a squash preparation, a particular Hodo item or a recipe pairing, so visitors should not expect a specifically advertised tofu-and-squash dish.
Foodwise’s Public Education program connects cooking demonstrations with recipes made from farmers-market ingredients. The wider program invites visitors to taste the results and ask questions; this event’s listing specifically confirms samples and recipes.

Reicher is Greens’ executive chef and the author of “Seasons of Greens: A Collection of New Recipes from the Iconic San Francisco Restaurant.” She studied at the Culinary Institute of America, joined Greens in 2015 and became executive chef in 2020. She is the fourth person to hold the post; Foodwise describes the restaurant’s executive-chef history as a succession of women.
Reicher’s vegetarian cooking draws on her New York upbringing, culinary education and food traditions she has encountered internationally, with seasonal ingredients helping guide her work. Edwards, Greens’ chef de cuisine, joins her for this demonstration. The restaurant says its menus follow local growers and produce from its Green Gulch farm; Greens has centered its work on vegetables since 1979.

Minh Tsai founded Hodo at a farmers market in 2004, aiming to recreate the tofu he remembered from childhood in Vietnam. The company now makes tofu and yuba products, which Foodwise describes as organic and non-GMO; Hodo also sells at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Saturdays.
That history gives the featured maker a direct connection to the market setting. Hodo’s presence is confirmed, but the event listing does not say which product the chefs will use.

Foodwise’s Seasonal Spotlight changes focus through the year, pairing a monthly produce theme with market tastings, recipes and cooking guidance. Its schedule assigns winter squash to November, making this demo part of a larger effort to help home cooks work with seasonal market produce.
The November 14 demo is distinct from Foodwise’s separately listed Winter Squash Celebration on November 21. The latter is the monthly celebration; the earlier date is the Greens-and-Hodo cooking demonstration.

Foodwise describes the outdoor market as wheelchair accessible, with a flat, paved surface and ramps at the Embarcadero curb. Its guide identifies the loading zone on northbound Embarcadero, just south of the clocktower, as the preferred passenger drop-off point on market days. For vehicles with a valid disabled placard, the guide says metered spaces across the street on southbound Embarcadero may be used; it also identifies two spaces on northbound Embarcadero, one just north and one just south of the Ferry Building. These details are market-wide; separate classroom access arrangements are not described.
The Ferry Building Marketplace has two sets of ADA-accessible public restrooms, in its north and south pass-throughs. Dogs and other live animals are not permitted in the certified market, except for service animals.
