Power Greens Class with Chef Kristen | Wednesday June 12th, 10am to 2pm
Greens are an icon of summer abundance in the Hudson Valley and we want to celebrate them! During this class, we’ll explore ways to incorporate them into your main dishes.
After touring our Market Garden and harvesting your own fresh produce with Farm Managers Sam and Jeremy, Chef Kristen will show you how to transform assorted greens into main ingredient stars. In this hands-on class, she’ll teach you ways to incorporate greens into your daily menus implementing cooking processes that highlight the flavor and texture profiles of collard greens, spinach, kale, and chard that are often ignored. You’ll learn the best ways to process and store hardy greens, gain tips to extend their shelf life, and embrace improvisational cooking by using what you have on hand. We’ll prepare a collard green caesar salad with puffed rice, fresh spinach pasta with mushrooms and walnuts, kale and pistachio pesto, and even a provencal swiss chard, raisin and pine nut tart.
You’ll finish the morning with a feast prepared by you and your classmates in the beautiful, light-filled dining room of our Cookhouse.
