John Michael Lerma Demonstrates New Ways to Cook Lamb.
Our apologies to Festival goers who had hoped to see the demonstrations by Chef John Michael Lerma. His sister was in a tragic car accident early Sunday morning and he had to rush to Fargo to be by her side.

Author, chef and Food Network personality, John Michael Lerma will share creative secrets for preparing lamb. See the recipies he will be preparing.

He grew up on a farm in North Dakota where he learned from his grandmother to grow fruits and vegetables, prepare large meals, and can preserves. A frequent guest on KARE 11's Saturday Morning News Show and Showcase Minnesota, he appears on WCCO Sunday Morning Live Show, KSTP, and Cities 97 morning show with BT & Lee. Author of Garden Country, Corporate Chef at Cooks of Crocus Hill in St. Paul and contributing chef at Chef's Gallery in Stillwater, he lives in Saint Paul.
