During the Fair, The Kitchen, located in Maytag Family Theaters, is a popular demonstration kitchen for anything from cuts of meat to barbecue, cake decorating, charcuterie and cooking with honey. From November through April, watch for interactive, educational and fun cooking classes for all skill levels. Learn from local experts, using local products.
Elevate your baking with a hands-on class that will teach you how to create a basic loaf of artisan sourdough bread! The January 17 Kitchen class in the Maytag Family Theaters will teach you how to mix dough, fold and ferment it, shape and chill it, score and bake it, and care for your starter.
Each participant will leave with written recipes and instructions, a free loaf of sandwich sourdough bread and a free jar of proven sourdough starter! There will also be samples, such as discard crackers, artisan loaves with inclusions, donuts, cookies and a sourdough pizza.
