On Sept. 24, Central Frontenac's own celebrity chef extraordinaire, Andrea Dickinson, gave the last of a three-workshop series on cooking with local food. The free workshops, which were all held at Oso Hall, were sponsored by the Sharbot Lake Farmers Market and funded by the County of Frontenac. Andrea did much of the food preparation beforehand, and so her presentation flowed very much like a TV cooking show as she demonstrated the steps of preparing some spectacularly delicious food to the participants - who also were able to enjoy the fruits of her labors.
The hallmark of Andrea's recipes is that they are actually simple to prepare while being impressive and full of flavour.
She also shared several tips. For garam masala, she recommended buying whole spice garam masala, dry-roasting it and then grinding it. She said that the same method also makes a huge difference with cumin.
On the menu for the Flavors of Fall workshop were Fresh Corn Salad with Smoky Bacon and Feta, Sweet Potato Coconut Milk Soup with Coriander and Lime, and Pumpkin Streusel Bread. The recipes are all posted at handsonharvest.ca
