About this event

Calling all cooks and those who eat the labors of their work! This six-week course will challenge participants to think about how food has changed over their lifetimes by looking at old and new Maine cookbooks (bring any you own!) then will move into reading journalistic food writing (which will be provided) and discussion about products we love here in Maine — The Humble Bean and Other Legumes, Begging for an Egg, Astonishing Apples, and The Versatile Potato. Recipes using those products may be submitted ahead of each discussion so that they become part of the conversation, and the course will conclude with each participant bringing a dish containing one of the products to share.

Week 1: Old and New: Food That We Remember and How We Cook Now
Week 2: The Humble Bean (and Other Legumes)
Week 3: Begging for an Egg
Week 4: Maine Crops, Part I: Apples and Blueberries
Week 5: Maine Crops, Part II: The Versatile Potato
Week 6: A Celebration of Recipes

Instructor Chrys Hahn was a literacy instructor and supervisor with a specialization in writing over the course of her work life, but gardening and cooking are and have been her passions for many years.
