Description
Join Chef Darin, on a culinary journey that celebrates the unique flavors and umami-richness of mushrooms. Darin will share his passion for local, wild, and domestic mushrooms, and together, you’ll learn how to bring out the deep flavors of mushrooms while keeping them the highlight of the dish. Learn how to sauté chanterelle mushrooms to perfection and every bite will transport you to mushroom paradise. Next, King Oyster Mushrooms take the spotlight in a warm salad with creamy goat cheese and crunchy hazelnuts. Prepare for an incredible explosion of flavors by adding the perfect balance of acidity and depth to mushroom dashi and zesty ponzu-roasted shiitake mushrooms. This cooking class is a must for food enthusiasts, home cooks, and anyone with a passion for discovering the culinary wonders of mushrooms.
With pork, seafood, dairy, eggs, and nuts.
About the instructor: Darin Gagner began his culinary adventure more than two decades ago as a way to get out of a small town in Eastern Washington and into the city. Seeking out as many experiences as possible and moving from coast to coast, he worked at lobster shacks, pizza joints, fine dining restaurants, and landmark hotels. Not a born teacher or cook, he
was lucky enough to work with outstanding chefs that helped him become both.
Darin is a full-time chef and owner of Valley Sharp Knife Sharpening. He lives in Cle Elum with his wife and sons. When he is not in the kitchen or his shop (which is rare) he’s in the woods or by a lake enjoying fresh air and craft beer.
