Our workshop presenter is Rachel Ware who, with her husband, runs their
AlpineGlo Farm in Westminster. Rachel will feature winter available vegetables
broccoli and carrots, and, perhaps, chicken. She will demonstrate the best way
to wash and cut up vegetables, how to simply freeze them, from blanching
through the freezing process, and then how to cook blanched vegetables by
adding them to three different recipes.Rachel will also show how to freeze the
three different prepared meals, along with best packaging and reheating
techniques.
