I cannot in good conscience recommend that people eat one type of meat over another since I work with all types of livestock farmers. What better way to celebrate your holiday season than with a greater variety of offerings for your family. If you haven’t eaten lamb for a while or never, then now is the time to try something new.
Nothing says holiday like locally grown farm products. Start a new tradition by featuring lamb on your holiday menu. The American Lamb Board has some great tips on cooking lamb for the holidays. Visit: www.americanlamb.com/lamb101/holidaylambcookingguide.aspx
You don’t know what you’re missing until you’ve tried it. And as the American Lamb Board website states: Nothing says special celebration like elegant, delicious American Lamb. Whether it’s a holiday feast or an intimate family dinner, American Lamb is elegant yet easy to prepare. It’s available year round and when you buy American Lamb, you can count on freshness. From the traditional leg roast to the quintessential rack, there’s a lamb dish for every holiday occasion. American Lamb’s unique, rich flavor can make any meal seem special and will make your family and friends feel especially appreciated. If you are looking for locally raised, grown and made products visit Adirondack Harvest to find the closes farm to you in the Adirondack North Country.

Northern New York - “Food is fun and the ‘All About Vegetables’ workshops are a great way for people to learn easy, fun, new methods of cooking to keep and enhance the flavors of our locally-grown foods,” says Chef Kevin McCarthy.
McCarthy, a Culinary Institute of America graduate with experience as a chef in Germany, Florida, Texas, and Virginia and locally at The Point and The Lake Placid Lodge, is one of three regional chefs/restaurateurs teaching the 6-9 Eating Local Yet? Vegetables workshops. He is now among the School of Hospitality, Resort and Culinary Management faculty at Paul Smith’s College of the Adirondacks.
Chef Kevin McCarthy will be instructing workshop on All About Vegetables
McCarthy will be instructing the public workshop participants Thursday, June 30 in Plattsburgh, NY, at the CV-TEC Culinary Kitchen.
Other Eating Local Yet? Vegetables workshops are set for Tuesday, June 28 in Sackets Harbor, NY, with Chef Boo Wells at The Farm House Kitchen and in Canton, NY, with Blackbird Café restaurateur Katrina Hebb and local grower Kathy Rice at the 1st Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall.
Cornell Cooperative Extension nutrition educators will also be on hand to help consumers learn how to select, prepare, dress and store vegetables for maximum health and budget benefit.
“At the Plattsburgh workshop, I will be talking about what you do with that bag of produce from the farmers market or your weekly CSA (community supported agriculture subscription) share or that you grew yourself,” says Amy Ivy, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Clinton County Executive Director. “People want to know what goes in the fridge, what keeps on the counter. Carrots, for example, don’t keep well with their tops left on.”
McCarthy says he hopes people will learn to adopt and adapt the latest culinary concepts and put their own spin on the techniques at home. (more…)
