Spring’s Sweet-Sour Stars: Strawberries & Rhubarb with Miriam Rubin

Spring brings the bright color and puckery tang of rhubarb and its perfect partner – the strawberry. This classic seasonal combination is a welcome wake-up call for our tastebuds after a long winter. In our Hudson Valley/Berkshires kitchen Miriam will be sharing her recipes and cooking secrets for unlocking this wonderful flavor profile. Spring never tasted so good.

Menu to include:

• Rhubarb & Strawberry Pie
• Rhubarb Spelt Cake
• Miriam’s Ginger Rhubarb Compote
• Lemon Shortbread (a lovely accompaniment for Miriam’s compote)

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