Publisher Description: * The perfect "treat" for foodies, organic gardeners, cookbook addicts, and sustainable practitioners alike * Sustainability is an accelerating trend in the food world With the rising interest in organic and locally grown food, there is also an increasing interest in connecting the farm to the table. Chefs on the Farm describes the seasonal workings of Quillisascut Goat Cheese Farm, a small, family-run business in northeastern Washington state. There, owners Lora Lea and Rick Misterly started a "Farm School for the Domestic Arts" where every summer, professional chefs, culinary students, food writers, and others live and work on the farm. Cooking only with ingredients they find on the farm, students learn to be connected to the food they work with. Learn more about the Quillisascut Goat Cheese Farm at Quillisascut.com. |
Contributor Bio(s): Borg, Shannon: - SHANNON BORG is a Seattle-based writer, editor, poet, and wine educator. She writes about travel, food, and wine for regional media, including Seattle, Northwest Palate, Wine Press Northwest, avalonwine.com, and citysearch.com. She holds certificates from the International Sommelier Guild and she has taught wine tasting classes for the Blue Ribbon Cooking School and been a guest sommelier for the PONCHO Wine Auction. LORA LEA and RICK MISTERLY purchased land near Rice, Washington, in 1981, inspired in part by Lora Lea's upbringing on her family's dairy farm in Leavenworth. Six years later the Misterlys received a license from the Washington State Department of Agriculture to produce farmstead cheese and started the Quillisascut Cheese Company. Today they still make cheese with the milk from their herd of 35 dairy goats. The pair had a dream that they would one day be able to share the farm lifestyle with others, an idea that evolved as chefs and food lovers began to visit the farm. In 2002 they founded the Quillisascut Farm School of the Domestic Arts, with a focus on teaching culinary students and professionals about the farm-to-table connection. Now, more than 80 student and professional chefs visit their farm each summer. CHEF KAREN JURGENSEN grew up in the heart of wheat country near Republic, Washington, and her inspiration to cook came from her grandmother who took her foraging in the region and showed her the adventures of working in a kitchen. Jurgensen is currently the Chef Instructor at Quillisascut Cheese Company's Farm School and at Seattle Culinary Academy teaching farm-to-table practices and philosophy to professional chefs, culinary students, and agricultural professionals.
