Foodies will be in good company at the Iowa Eats Festival on April 5 in Waterloo, where the state’s top chefs, cookbook authors, and other food and beverage experts will demonstrate new products and share kitchen wisdom and, of course, plenty of samples.

Visitors can attend classes and presentations led by experts like the Des Moines baker Eileen Gannon, who competed on Netflix’s “Blue Ribbon Baking Championship” and founded Sunday Night Foods, and Jacob Schroeder, who owns Crafted Food Services catering and Moxie Kitchen + Events, a shared kitchen and prep space in Des Moines. At other workshops, visitors will learn how to bake bread, make pasta, blend spices, pair wines and appreciate whiskey.

Tickets are $10 per person and include food and beverage samples. Find more info on vendors, classes and speakers at iowaeatsfestival.com.
