Asheville local and friend, Ashleigh Shanti went live over on @eastforkpottery on Friday, June 12th for a cooking demo of Vodka Coconut Kachumbari, a fresh tomato and onion salad she experienced in East Africa (you can watch below!). We're teaming together with Ashleigh to help raise money for her organization of choice, the Pimento Relief Fund.
All you have to do is make Ashleigh's Vodka Coconut Kachumbari and post a photo with the hashtag #chefshanti and tag @eastforkpottery, and for every person who makes it, we'll donate $5 to the Pimento Relief Fund! Ends Friday, June 26th!
