Summertime brings the best parts of Colorado out for all our state’s residents to enjoy. Long hikes, colorful wildflowers, and fresh produce are some of our favorite things about this short but sweet season. Soak up the last of summer’s offerings at the Longmont Farmers Market and learn how to make delicious, seasonal recipes using local produce at Kitchen Co Longmont’s Shop with the Chef series. Here’s what you need to know.
Kitchen Company, based in Longmont, delights in sharing top-quality culinary products and teaching cooking skills though its Shop with the Chef classes. This beloved Longmont retailer has connected culinary fans, cooking novices, and self-proclaimed foodies with a community that values the art of making beautiful meals and sourcing sustainable, quality ingredients.
Its Shop with the Chef series occurs each month and features an experienced chef who instructs participants on all aspects of crafting a meal from seasonal produce. Each lesson is different and showcases that month’s farmers market offerings, giving participants the chance to utilize nature’s bounty each week.
This session will feature a dish comprised of sweet corn polenta, topped with Hazel Dell mushrooms. Colorado’s sweet corn is a summer favorite and this class will prove that there are plenty of ways to display this delightful starch in light, tasty dishes. Dessert consists of a sweet confection with either berries or stone fruit, depending on what’s available at the market. Guests are encouraged to bring their appetites!

Her many years of experience cooking and teaching provide the perfect balance to the Shop with the Chef series. A grocery list will be provided to attendees prior to the event so everyone can stock up on supplies straight from the market and learn simple, efficient culinary techniques from Chef Foro.
Shop with the Chef takes place on 9/11 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm at Kitchen Company in Longmont. Reservations need to be made seven days prior. Space fills up fast so reserve your place now!
