Harnessing the Power of Fresh Herbs, with Justin Chapple

Join cookbook author Justin Chapple in our beautiful Hudson Valley-Berkshires area demo kitchen for this delicious and entertaining class, as he demonstrates simple but wonderful recipes that harness the power of fresh summer herbs. Herbs are bountiful during late spring and throughout the summer. Justin will demonstrate how to transform basic, everyday ingredients into extraordinary dishes using the fresh herbs that can be grown in your own back yard. You will walk away with brilliant tips for using fresh herbs at home as well as a menu that can easily be replicated at home. Each guest will enjoy a tasting of the dishes following the class.

Dishes to be made:

– Olive Oil-and-Herb-Crushed Potato Salad

– Herb-and-Bulgur Salad with Sunflower Seeds

– Ricotta Gnocchi with Summer Herbs

– Verjus-Poached Chicken in an Herb Garden

This demonstration class and tasting is limited to 25 people.

This event is part of a full day of collaborative festivities including classes on cooking with herbs next door at Tiny Hearts Flower Farm’s new workshop, and the Open Day garden tours and rare plant sale at the garden of Margaret Roach in nearby Copake Falls, NY.
