The problem with convenience foods is what you sacrifice for the convenience. When you make your own dried foods at home, you decide what you want to make, you control all the ingredients, and you can make enough for yourself and even for your parents if you want to send them a yummy meal!
Learn the hows and whys of food dehydration at this workshop. You'll be able to dehydrate foods, use three methods of assembly, make smart ingredient choices, and rehydrate on the trail! This is an intro class, but we'll get you started on the road to fun and fabulous travel and trail food!
Ever find yourself wishing for powdered butter? Well, now you will! We'll help you source the cool ingredients, supplies, and equipment you need to start on your dried foods adventure. It's never too late to learn a new skill, and this is a great one to have in your hip pocket, or backpack!
Deschutes Public Library enriches the community through equitable, open access to books, services, and resources that inspire people to reach for their dreams.
Beth is a food alchemist. Before leaving her artist career and moving here from Ohio six years ago, Beth studied up on desert gardening. On arrival, she became the garden department manager at a local retailer. When her suggestions to stock climate appropriate plants went nowhere, she started High & Dry Garden Works, her own lab for propagating plants that can thrive with limited water, excessive sun and wind, and deer. Among the many things she grows are her own foodstuffs, which she now by magic makes into amazing new shapes and forms. If you call Beth, prepare for a conversation that goes something like, "Hold on a sec, I just discovered how to make dehydrated french fries and need to write it down!"
