 Farm Camp.....aka foodie adventure Well.....farm camp finally started last week, I cooked with the kids for 3 hours on Friday. They had visited the farm and were working with the farmers all week.....so I made.... lemon verbena ice cream (they liked it dispite the herbaceousness zucchini bread (again a fav) beet salad....3 had had canned beets before and the others had never tried beets at all...they liked the chevre/beet/basalmic salad Fingerling potato salad Green Mayo from James Beard squash....pittypan, babies and big So...there have been a few changes and instead of my cooking 2 (3 hour sessions) with 14 (9-11 yr.olds) I'll be cooking 6 hours Monday and Thurs as well as 3 hours on Wed!!! Monday will be egg day.. fritata deviled eggs angel food cake pastry cream/then a tart with puff (bought)/topped with berries Peach ice cream from a custard Lamb sausages, mint couscous, fennel salad/fennel cooked slides and a talk about other farms.... Wed. Jam....I got blackberries, peaches and will scrounge blueberries biscuits fruit syrup maybe a jelly roll... Thurs.... Crisp Pie Cobbler Potato tasting with 5 Ice cream....I just love ice cream So throw in 2 clients on Mon and Wed and a picnic for 150 on Friday as well as market on Sat....and you have my week.Whew. *****So what really hits home is these kids are not only trying and LIKING beets they are honed into seasonal shtuff.What an incredible experience.

| Wow Shroom it sounds so great. To get so many kids to try new things is quite an accomplishment. Goes to show how open to new things kids can be. Congratulations on your success Shroom! P.S. Will there be an adult food camp too?

| Absolutely brilliant! Kids will learn to pay attention to their palates if they are taught to do so. Some of us are fortunate to have brown up in homes were eclectic flavors and cuisines were commonplace; others of us learned elsewhere- if we were lucky. Your students will have greatly enriched lives for your efforts! BRAVA!!!
