Herb Your Enthusiasm: Tasty Bites Made Simple - Seasonal Herb Blends

Master the transition from garden bed to dinner plate in this sensory, two-part workshop. We begin with a deep dive into fall herb maintenance, focusing on the specific varieties that withstand the first frost and how to harvest them to ensure the plant's health. We then demonstrate preservation methods that lock in flavor for the winter months ahead. The second half of the class is all about culinary application. We discuss the flavor profiles of classic autumn herb blends and demonstrate how to incorporate them into your cooking to create deep, complex dishes.

Whether you’re a gardener wishing to elevate your harvest or a cook seeking fresher, more expressive ingredients, this workshop offers a beautifully curated roadmap for a delicious and inspired season ahead.

This class fulfills an elective requirement for the Rocky Mountain Gardening full series certificate program.
