Mushroom Cooking Theory & Practice: Hands-On Experience & Taste Testing


ID : 14899   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Join Dr. Gordon Walker in the commercial kitchen and cooking lab at Cabrillo to learn the theory of how to clean, prepare, and cook a variety of cultivated and wild mushrooms, and how to make sure your mushrooms are edible and safe to eat. You will put your knowledge into practice by cooking mushrooms yourself and preparing a dish to share with your classmates. You will be cooking with commercial mushrooms, curated and selected by Dr. Walker, but you may also cook and taste test wild mushrooms found on the foray before class on Cabrillo’s campus, weather permitting. You will come away with recipes, solid fundamentals on how to cook different types of mushrooms, and the confidence to identify them.
Class size is limited, so register early! 
Students must wear long pants and closed-toed shoes, and be prepared to tie your hair back or wear a hat in the kitchen. Please dress for the weather so you can stay warm and dry on the foray.
