Flavors from the Farmer’s Market

Celebrate the peak of the season in this vibrant, hands-on cooking class inspired by the best of the farmer’s market. We’ll work with sun-ripened tomatoes, sweet summer melons, tender zucchini, and fresh herbs to create a menu that’s colorful, flexible, and deeply rooted in seasonal cooking. Along the way, you’ll learn how to layer simple ingredients for maximum flavor, build confidence with risotto, and turn garden vegetables into both savory and sweet dishes that shine.

Instructor: Shawnie Kelley

On the Menu:

Tomato, Melon, Burrata Salad – A bright, refreshing salad that pairs juicy melon with ripe heirloom tomatoes and creamy burrata. Finished with a light vinaigrette and fresh basil, it’s a simple celebration of peak summer produce.

Grilled Summer Vegetable Risotto – Creamy risotto layered with the smoky depth of grilled squash, peppers, and seasonal vegetables. This dish highlights classic risotto technique with the added flavor of charred farmers market produce.

Lemon Zucchini Cake with Lemon Glaze – A tender, citrus-forward cake made with fresh zucchini and lemon zest for a light, moist crumb. Finished with a tangy lemon glaze, it’s a bright and elegant end to the meal.
