SUMMARY:Cooking with Honey: Whipped Butter Board Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Come hungry\, as you’re likely to eat this snack board on site! Learn how to make personal sized whipped butter boards at the Adirondack Harvest Festival with Chef Robert Dumas\, Director Institute of Adventure Hospitality and Food at Paul Smith’s College. \nTraditional bread and butter just got taken to the next level with this simple\, easily replicable and shareable dish. A butter board is a sensation taking over social media\, where wooden boards have butter spread over them and finished with various toppings. Butter boards can be something that add a vibrant pop of color to your hosting spread. \nIn this workshop\, Chef Dumas will have attendees taste different types of honey – like blueberry\, buckwheat\, wildflower – that attendees will whip with butter to spread over their personal boards. Then\, attendees will decide which kinds of edible flowers and other toppings they’ll use to garnish the butter board. Crackers or bread will be provided to enjoy the butter board when they’re finished. \nKid-friendly cooking workshop! Must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. \nPlease arrive 15 minutes early to register for this workshop.
