It’s strawberry season at Appleton Farms in Hamilton and Ipswich, and we’re celebrating the arrival of this favorite crop by cooking up all things strawberry in the kitchen.  Our workshop begins with a brief walk out to the fields (weather permitting), learning more about berries while sampling and harvesting some for our class.  We’ll then head to the kitchen to prepare a delicious menu of sweet & savory strawberry recipes while covering traditional cooking skills and techniques along the way.  Class includes hands-on cooking, professional chef instruction, printed recipes, and a ‘strawberry celebration’ dinner at the end of the evening.  BYOB beer & wine allowed. 

MENU:

Strawberry, Basil, & Goat Cheese Bruschetta

Honey-Glazed Pork with Cucumber-Strawberry Salsa

Kale & Strawberry Salad with Curry-Lemon Dressing

Skillet Berry Shortcake with Farm Cream

Class recipes are samples only and subject to change. Workshops will begin promptly at designated time.  Feel free to arrive a few minutes early to settle in. The program takes place Thursday, June 13 from 6 – 9 and is $72 for members of The Trustees, and $90 for nonmembers. Register at www.thetrustees.org.
