HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE – A culinary class celebrating the bounty of Lake County is scheduled for Thursday, June 22, at 6 p.m. at Chic Le Chef in Hidden Valley Lake.

In this class, “From the Farm to the Table,” Esther Oertel, culinary instructor and author of the weekly Lake County News column, “The Veggie Girl,” will demonstrate the preparation of a menu based on our local late spring harvest.

Ingredients such as goat cheese, strawberries, olive oil, walnuts, wine, salad greens, beets and arugula will all be sourced from Lake County farms.

Chard and cilantro soup with noodle nests, The Perfect Spring Salad, chicken with mireproix and cream, and strawberry brunch tart with thyme and black pepper are on the menu.

Oertel will teach other classes featuring seasonal local bounty at Chic Le Chef on July 11, 29 and Aug. 12.

The cost of the class is $32, which includes a complete recipe booklet and generous tastes of each dish.
