Winter Baking for Teatime & Beyond, with Mimi Beaven

Baking for friends and family should be comforting for the baker and recipient alike. It is also an essential side of Mimi Beaven’s English heritage – which fortunately for us she is willing to share.

Afternoon tea was a daily occurrence for Mimi growing up, but even if you aren’t an imbiber of afternoon tea and the trays of treats that accompany it, one needn’t have a reason to bake as freshly made treats are warmly received by almost everyone at almost any time. Join us in our Hudson Valley kitchen as Mimi demonstrates the techniques of wonderful baking sure to warm the hearts and tummies of your loved ones through the holidays and all winter long.

Menu to include:

• Cheddar chive scones
• Fruit and nut bars
• Coffee and walnut cake
• Spice cookies

This demonstration class (plus munching) 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.
