Culinary Workshop: May 22, Spring Produce & Gnocchi

Registration is now open! If listing says "Sold Out" it is because all 14 seats have been purchased and the class booking is closed.

The Details:

• May 22, 6:30p - 9:00p
• Instruction provided by: Resident and Lead Chef Instructor, Chef Alli Vyn
• Class Type: Demonstration style with samplings

In this workshop we celebrate all things spring produce while learning how to forage a few of the ingredients yourself! Spring is one of our favorite seasons to cook in. After a long winter, the ground has thawed and we can finally enjoy the first tastes of fresh green produce. We will cover how to sustainably forage for ramps and morel mushrooms in our local forests (including our secret abundant wild ramp location shhhh!), tips on shopping the farmers market, and show you how to properly prepare your bounty by creating a bright and fresh meal with homemade potato gnocchi.

Enjoy samplings of our piece de resistance: Traditional Potato Gnocchi with Wild Ramps, Michigan Asparagus, Morel Mushrooms, Spring Peas, and (if we're lucky) Fava Beans in a simple Lemony Brown Butter Sauce. 

Participants will also receive an exclusive shopping experience with 10% off at East Elm Kitchen Co. the night of the event! Excluding sale items and special merchandise. 

Hosted by East Elm Kitchen Co. at our shop: 173 West Liberty Street, Plymouth MI. Age minimum is 15. Due to limited space availability, only paid registrants are able to attend. 14 participant maximum capacity.
