Folk School to Kitchen - 8am to 12pm - AAMC 2025
Join me for a hands-on culinary experience. Class will start in the woods learning how maple syrup is made. Next we will move to the garden to learn about growing garlic and then we will harvest ingredients for our first recipe. We will move into the kitchen using our new knowledge to get cooking!
In the outdoor kitchen we will learn:
different way to process spices and make spice mixes that will be used in our recipes
how to make a simple and versatile salsa
the basics of granola making and making your own recipe
how to make a flavorful garlic condiment
Students will leave with a jar of each item that we make and all the recipes, plus garlic to bring home for planting or cooking.
All supplies will be provided, but if you have a favorite chef and/or paring knife please bring it.

Jamie Brodd
Jamie grew up canning and preserving foods with her mom and grandma. The foundation was set, but she really became passionate in her 20s, after she started her own garden. With the abundance from her home garden as well as local farmer’s markets, she has almost infinite raw materials to work with.
Jamie turned her chemical engineering background and passion for recipes into a cottage food business in which her specialty is unique granola and a variety of preserved foods.
When she isn’t actively cheering on her two student athletes, or volunteering with local groups, she loves being creative with the bounty that comes from her garden.
