Spring Wild Foods Tasting
June 11, 2017 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Spring has sprung! Come out to cook, or just to taste.
MAW’s mushroom tastings feature mycophagy (mushroom-based cooking) – delicious and educational at the same time! Taste mushrooms and other wild foods you have never tried before, and compare the results of different preparation and preservation techniques. For example, you might learn:
– Which makes better broth – black staining polypore or hen of the woods?
– Which makes better risotto – black trumpet chanterelles or boletes?
– Do you prefer truffle ice cream or candy cap ice cream?
While mushrooms will be the main feature, any wild foraged food might appear on our spring tasting menu. In past years we have tried everything from wood sorrel to squirrel! Participants will vote for the best preparations and we will share our recipes.
The participation fee is $10 per person (waived for members who cook). All participants MUST be active members of MAW the day of the event, and preregistration is strongly recommended due to space and portion limitations.
Let us know about your upcoming local event. If you don’t see your event on our calendar, you can submit your event for consideration on our calendar here. Please aim to share your events at least two weeks before the event so we have time to get the word out.
