Holder will take a group on his shopping trip to the White Plains Farmers Market Wednesday and show them not only how he chooses the ingredients for the hotel's fresh peach crisp, he'll also share the recipe.

During his weekly trips, Holder answers questions about selecting produce, cooking and more. The excursions are free and open to the public. They leave every Wednesday at 2 p.m. from the hotel lobby, 3 Renaissance Square in White Plains.
