Wild Mushroom Tasting & Culinary Demo with Elle Matthews of MushLove
This workshop is focused on understanding different preparations of mushrooms to best suit their unique textures and flavors. During this class we will explore fungal flavors and textures through a blind taste test of multiple mushrooms and prep methods. We will rate the selections and discuss what we liked and disliked about them and why. We will showcase different prep methods of some local, seasonal mushrooms and how to use those methods to create stunning dishes that highlight our fungal friends as the star of the show! We will also sample some mushroom appetizers and learn how they were created. Elle will also be bringing a sample of her products and will have them available for purchase after the class. This event will be vegan-friendly.
