BBQ & Picnic Sides with Mimi Beaven

Summer is the season for casual alfresco meals, whether it’s a BBQ or picnic. In this class Mimi Beaven will inspire you to spend less time in the kitchen and more time outside while taking full advantage of the abundant summer produce of the Hudson Valley and Berkshires. In her demonstration class Mimi will share how to grill head lettuce, which she’ll serve with salsa verde on flatbread. Two classic warm weather dishes are potato salad and slaw, but Mimi’s versions of these summer sides will be a welcome change, adding new recipes to your alfresco celebrations.

Menu to include:

• Grilled Head Lettuce with Salsa Verde on Flatbread
• Mimi’s Potato Salad
• Mimi’s Summer Slaw

This demonstration class (plus eating!) is limited to ten people.

About Mimi Beaven

Mimi grew up surrounded by French and English food as her parents had a restaurant in the Cotswolds, England and her grandparents and French family had restaurants in Lyon, France. After studying Agriculture, she started working front of house in restaurants and then raised two daughters with her husband Richard. After moving to the US in 2002 and then having a house in Ghent from 2005 Mimi cooked more and more. Richard and Mimi founded and built Made in Ghent at Little Ghent Farm in 2014 and operated it successfully until 2021. They had a loyal following who loved Mimi’s bread, cakes, soups and preserves along with the pork, chicken, and eggs they raised on the farm.
