GIFTS OF THE GARDEN- BENEATH THE FIG LEAF GARDEN 2 TABLE COOKING & HERBAL EDUCATION

Spend an afternoon in the garden harvesting figs, exploring their cultural history, and learning about traditional medicinal uses and practices associated with the fruit and leaves. Chef LeighM, Celebrity Chef, Nutritionist, and Kitchen Herbalist, will guide a conversation about these traditions, responsible plant use, and bringing garden ingredients to your table.

Then roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking experience! Prepare fig-leaf-wrapped salmon with lemon, fresh garlic, and Grace & Garlic seasoning, or choose a vegan fig-leaf-wrapped mushroom entrée.

After cooking, we’ll sit down together to enjoy the full meal with white rice, roasted carrots, and Black Mission fig sauce featuring orange, ginger, and garlic, finished with scallions and fresh orange slices. The salmon sauce includes honey and soy sauce; the vegan option will feature a honey-free preparation.

A wine pairing or wine-based signature drink and chilled bottled water are planned, with beverage selections and sponsorships to be confirmed.
