Led by mycologist, author, and fungi advocate, Melanie Khan, this flavorful workshop explores the art of cooking with mushrooms, transforming both wild and cultivated varieties into delicious dishes. While the session will not include hands-on foraging and mushroom identification, participants will gain insights into local mushroom varieties and develop a better understanding of zones and climates where mushrooms thrive. Every participant will receive a copy of Mason Goes Mushrooming, a book that includes fun recipes and engaging lessons for young readers. This workshop offers a deeper connection to sustainable, locally sourced food while exploring the incredible culinary potential of mushrooms, even for the most reluctant mushroom eaters.
