Executive Chef Renee Scharoff will demonstrate cooking with natural foods, including local honey, at the October meeting of the Suffield Garden Club.
The Suffield Garden Club is pleased to announce an exciting line-up of programs, beginning on October 3 with “Sweet As Can Bee” by Executive Chef Renee Scharoff. Renee was raised on a Connecticut farm, where her appreciation for fresh and locally sourced food developed organically. Renee will talk about her experiences as a new beekeeper, how and why she got started in catering, and how beekeeping and the farm-to-table concept are incorporated into her business, Blonde on the Run Catering. As a food artisan, Renee works with small local farms to produce delicious, mostly organic and well-cared-for food. See Chef Renee at work as she demonstrates preparing and plating a special dish using fresh flowers, honey and honeycomb. Tasting samples will be available.
