Newport Cooks! Island Fresh: Farmer’s Market to Table Cuisine

Have you ever arrived home triumphant with bountiful bags overflowing with colorful greens and luscious ripe vegetables, fresh herbs, flowers that you just can’t grow at home and a loaf or two of rustic bread that smelled so good you couldn’t leave it behind?  Sounds like an all too scintillating trip to the local farmer’s market to me!  Am I the only one that does this?  I think not.  Chef Casey Shea, Executive Chef at Jamestown’s Bay Voyage Inn, is going to help direct our lust for local freshness on a walk to the Aquidneck Grower’s Market to “buy our dinner” and then back into the kitchen where he’ll share his passion and culinary knowledge for preparing farm-to-table fresh cuisine. Wear comfortable walking shoes, feel free to bring your own market basket to pick up a few things of your own, and get ready for a hands-on cooking class where we’ll prepare a delightful dinner with the freshest ingredients in town.  A light summer wine tasting will be chosen by Newport Wine Cellar.  Class fee:  $50
