Cookbook Series
We love to cook with our farm foods and we like to teach others how we approach food preparation from the farm kitchen. This spring season’s hands-on cooking series is inspired by some of our favorite cookbooks. Each class will feature recipes from one cookbook and we will discuss the cooking philosophy and techniques of the book’s author/s.
Our classes are taught using a combination of cooking demonstration by our farm chef, Sherry Swanson, and hands-on preparation by the class participants. Jean Jones, Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, discusses the cultural and nutritional aspects of the foods we are studying. Farm educator, Emily Freund, organizes the class presentations and offers sound cooking advice while we cook together.
After preparing a set of dishes, we will sit down together to enjoy the results with a glass of Jones wine. As a take-home, each guest will receive the cookbook, as well as our own blue Harvest Kitchen apron.
