February First Friday: Beats & Bites

The Heard Museum is serving up a delicious First Friday in February, featuring Alyssa Dixon (Akimel O’odham) of Alyssa’s Kosin. Alyssa and her team will be preparing a four-course tasting menu of small bites for visitors, featuring traditional Native American ingredients and recipes with a contemporary spin. Alyssa will also be sharing the significance and history of Native ingredients she uses in her dishes. Each course will be a small bite served at individual stations in the Piper Central Courtyard throughout the evening, while supplies last.

Additionally, This Just-In the DJ (Akimel O’Odham & Tohono O’Odham) will be spinning in our Central Courtyard so you can enjoy some beats with your bites.

The museum is free for everyone every First Friday after 5 pm, so we look forward to seeing you for a delicious evening at the Heard!

About Alyssa’s Kosin (Kitchen):

Alyssa’s Kosin was created in August of 2017, to help promote a healthier O’odham in the community, to be a place O’odham can witness a lifestyle of home cooking with fresh & traditional ingredients and to share simple recipes, empower and reconnect who we are as O’odham through our O’otham Haichu Huk.

Alyssa’s Kosin helps break down information to a community level for our members to better understand the health knowledge of traditional and non-traditional foods.
