Peas and Beans Class with Chef Kristen | Wednesday August 7th, 10am to 2pm
Peas and beans belong to the Fabaceae or Leguminosae (commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean) family, the third largest family of flowering plants consisting of over 20,000 species. Here in the Hudson Valley, their prolific productivity in August and short shelf life after harvest often outpaces our ability to use them. This class will help you enjoy their abundance in a myriad of ways.
After touring our Market Garden and harvesting your own fresh produce with Farm Managers Sam and Jeremy, Chef Kristen will help you learn how to approach these common vegetables with inspiring preparations. Together, we’ll explore methods that utilize the entire plant - from flower to stem to seed. Recipes will include sugar snap peas paired with homemade ricotta and roasted radish, English pea risotto, charred Romano beans with tonnato sauce, and even a cream cheese glazed English pea cake.
When we’re done, we’ll gather in the beautiful, light-filled dining room of our Cookhouse for a lunch that includes the fruits of our labor.
