Fall Baking with Mimi Beaven

Fall in the Hudson Valley is a time of plentiful produce as we prepare for the winter months ahead. In this baking class we will get cozy in the kitchen as Mimi demonstrates how to make a delectable assortment of just-sweet-enough desserts and treats using seasonal fruits and vegetables. Mimi was (and remains) much admired for the cakes and baked goods she produced for Made in Ghent at her Little Ghent Farm. While the farm food shop is no more, today Mimi shares her recipes and essential techniques for baked goods that are elegantly simple, and this class beautifully illustrates that culinary perspective. Join us in our Hudson Valley/Berkshires kitchen where we will enjoy all the goodies with a cup of tea at teatime.

Menu to include:

• Squash, Chocolate, Olive Oil Cake
• Apple & Maple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
• Cranberry Polenta Bars

This demonstration class 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.
