Things will get hot and spicy Saturday at the Pearlridge Farmers Market for its Second Annual Chile Pepper Fest.
There you will find chef demonstrations, chili roasting and even ancho chocolate cake to celebrate the market’s anniversary. And of course, there will be chilies for sale so you can add fiery goodness to your own dishes.
The event runs 8 a.m. to noon, regular market hours, at the parking lot outside Sears. Visit farmloversmarkets.com.
Cool down with Asian noodle recipes
