We don’t take many summer vacations here at Edible Manhattan — heck, we hate leaving this amazing city even for one day, especially when it’s all empty-like in August — but the one we’ve been looking forward to most starts next Thursday morning and we’re starting to daydream. It’s called the Annual Maine Event, and it’s a massive, multi-day DIY cooking class in lovely Lincolnville, Maine at Salt Water Farm, which earns its name from extreme proximity of the ocean.
But forget the ocean.
What we’re looking forward to is the classes taught by Tom Mylan and Brent Young of The (outstanding) Meat Hook in Williamsburg, Millicent Souris and Dennis Spina of The (excellent) Roebling Tea House, also in Williamsburg, and Annemarie Ahearn and Ladleah Dunn, who run Salt Water Farm. These two also have super-impressive resumes from an ag and a cheffing perspective, and Annemarie spent several years bouncing around with some big names (Barber, Colicchio) in the New York City food scene.
