The culinary philosophy of Elkstone Farm is rooted in seasonality, as we constantly attempt to reflect a sense of time and place on the farm. Even in winter, the farm and the valley have a culinary identity that we try to capture. Local food supports our local economy and the families who grow these things. When produce is left on the vine or in the ground until just before sale the nutritional benefit is maximized, and the freshness is unrivaled. Our cooking classes have these same values as we apply ancient techniques to local products.
Explore techniques for making handmade pasta with Chef Russell using local eggs and heirloom wheat. This class will build and expand on previous pasta classes and include new material and techniques. We will make extruded pasta like Bigoli Torchio, alongside rolled pastas like tagliatelle, stamped pasta like corzetti and all manner of handmade shapes like malloredus and cavatelli.
