Forest to Fork Cooking Class & Dinner: Mushroom Edition
Advertisement
We are excited to present From Forest to Fork with special guest Maria Hoffmann. As the founder of Little Roots and Gulf Coast Roots, Maria has dedicated her work to a simple, beautiful goal: helping us reconnect with the natural world.
In this hands-on class, Maria will teach us how to identify and harvest oyster mushrooms—a native Southeast delicacy found right here in our own hardwood habitats. Afterward, we’ll gather for a plant-forward feast celebrating the flavors of the forest, with vegan options for every single course! 🍄
🍽️ Menu:
• Lion's Mane "Crab" Cakes – golden, pan-seared patties showcasing the remarkable seafood-like texture of local lion's mane mushrooms, seasoned with classic coastal herbs
• Oyster Mushroom Alfredo – sautéed local mushrooms in a traditional creamy alfredo sauce over pasta (a vegan cashew-cream alfredo will also be available)
• Greek Salad – crisp romaine, cucumbers, and peppers with house-made dressing
• Roasted Cauliflower – oven-roasted with simple, savory seasoning
• Grilled Peaches – caramelized peaches with candied pecans and whipped coconut cream 🍑
✨ When & Where:
June 14 | 2:00–4:00 PM
USA Health Mapp Family Campus Teaching Kitchen
21950 Hwy 181, Fairhope, AL
