Finger Food for Holiday Gatherings, With Mimi Beaven

At this time of year we look forward to gathering with friends and family. Offering some nibbles to go with drinks or pre-dinner but doesn’t create stress for the host is the goal of this class. It’s great to have a few classics in your repertoire that you can prepare without fuss, which can be added to your cheeseboard or with other purchased items. This allows you to enjoy the party without feeling like you are exhausted before your guests arrive. In this pre-holiday demonstration class Mimi will share some delicious options. We’ll then chat about other ways to make entertaining a little easier as we taste the goodies made in the class.

Class menu to include:

• Cheese straws
• Pissaladière
• Goujères
• Crostini with white bean dip and hummus
• Seeded sourdough crackers

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.
