Cooking with Mushrooms - Culinary Class, March 10 @7 p.m., Tim’s Kitchen at Wakeman Town Farm Town Farm (Adults only); $125 pp. Feel free to BYOB your favorite libation.
Celebrate the beauty of specialty mushrooms in this seasonal, farm-forward cooking class led by farm-to-table Chef Genee Habansky of Herbaceous Catering. We’ll explore varieties like blue oysters, hen of the woods, shiitakes and lions mane while preparing — and tasting — dishes such as mushroom parmigiana, fricassee, mushroom “crab cakes,” and crispy chicken-fried mushrooms. Learn techniques, flavor pairing, and how to make mushrooms the star of the plate. Sourcing only the best mushrooms from Seacoast Mushrooms, based in Mystic Connecticut and found locally at the Westport Farmers’ Market, we will also learn about seasonality and foraging of them in the wild!
