Most of us aren't very familiar with winter vegetables like celeriac or radicchio. Whether you've never seen a vegetable in your life or are just looking for new ways to cook with them at home, join me for a cup of tea and cooking demonstrations! Lacinato kale has rounded rumples that are the best at capturing sauces and dressings, and kale in general is the most tender in the winter when the freezing temperatures bring out its sugars, celebrate this hardy green while its in its prime!
This week, we get to know Lacinato kale, how to cook with it, and learn two super simple recipes that could be your new go-to favorites! For this class I’ll be making a Crispy Garbanzo & Lacinato Salad and a Garlic Mushroom Lacinato Breakfast Scramble. You’ll get to try both, go home with beautiful recipe cards, and all the local organic veggies you'll need to make both recipes!
Location
This farm to table cooking class will be held in the cute and cozy Gathering Together Farmstand. Located on farm, the Farmstand & Restaurant is a quaint space just under a mile off Philomath Blvd.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
