BATH — Local Farms-Local Food, a a collaboration between the Brunswick Topsham Land Trust and the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust, will hold an interactive cooking class using local food on Tuesday at Now You’re Cooking.
Aaron Park, chef and owner of Henry and Marty Restaurant in Brunswick, will use in-season, local ingredients from Freeport-based food distributor Farm Fresh Connection to prepare a meal for participants, according to a release.
“Spring parsnips, kale, mustard greens, potatoes, tomatoes, fresh cheese and Maine raised chicken or pork are all possible ingredients for this culinary course,” the release states. “The class will take a realistic view at cooking with local food using what is in season and available to create delicious cuisine. Educating consumers on how and where to get and prepare seasonal local food is a key step to increasing local food consumption.”
Sarah Ayres from Farm Fresh Connection and farmland protection specialist Chris Cabot will speak about the sources, benefits and connections local food has to the community.
The course will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Now You’re Cooking, 49 Front St.
