A food focused class for home cooks and mushroom-curious eaters who want confidence in the kitchen but without foraging. In this presentation you’ll learn how to choose and cook both familiar cultivated mushrooms and species that once grew primarily in the wild but are now available in grocery stores and markets. We’ll cover why mushrooms should be cooked for proper digestibility, simple techniques that transform flavor and texture, everyday pairings, basic drying and storage, and the important distinction between culinary and medicinal use. You’ll leave with practical, easy-to-apply skills and a deeper understanding of how to safely and deliciously incorporate mushrooms into your everyday cooking. NOTE: There are two options from which to choose for your desired class session. Be sure to select the correct date when registering.
