Special Seasonal Supper
with Eugenia Bone

Eugenia Bone is a talented chef with Italian roots, but she’s also an internationally known food and science writer and is a regular presenter at Telluride Mushroom Festival. For Ah Haa Culinary Arts this summer, Eugenia will prepare a Special Seasonal Dinner of authentic central Italian dishes, mostly from Le Marche, where her family is from, and Abruzzo, next door. With local mushrooms as a focus, there will be a mushroom salad, mushroom pasta dish, and a mushroom and chicken entree, as well as local, seasonal vegetables. Peaches in wine will be featured for dessert, and a selection of wines from the North Fork Valley will be served.

Limited to 12, this intimate dinner will take place in the Ah Haa culinary classroom. If there are not enough wild mushrooms this season, Eugenia will instead prepare a meal showcasing local, fresh and home canned tomatoes, including a fresh tomato salad, spaghettini with raw tomato sauce, and beef cooked in home-canned tomatoes with garlic.

Eugenia Bone’s writing has appeared in many anthologies, magazines, and newspapers. She is a member of the American Society of Science Writers and former president of the New York Mycological Society. She is also a member of the faculty at the New York Botanical Garden, where she teaches classes on psychedelic mushrooms and mycophagy.
