  • Wednesday, August 7, 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm – Farm to Table: Renditions of Ratatouille

    This annual Highfield Hall and Gardens series focuses on produce available at our local  farmers’ markets. This year our culinary director, Gail Blakely, has joined a CSA and she will be bringing her box of fresh produce to the class on August 7 (1:30 – 3:30) so that you can join her in learning how to “cook local”! Highfield Hall is located at 56 Highfield Drive in Falmouth

    August 15th is Julia Child’s birthday, so we will honor her with a couple of different renditions of ratatouille: eggplant, peppers, squash, onions, garlic, tomatoes and fresh herbs. There are so many variations on this dish, we may never stop! Recipes and tastes are provided and subject to change depending on availability. $50 for Highfield Hall members, $60 for nonmembers.
