How can anyone NOT love a festival that includes a “Chocolate Chip Cookie School”?
To say nothing of hands-on workshops where you can learn to make fall pickles, and demonstrations that include “Historic California Recipes”, “Simple and Delicious Goat Cheese”, a “Tamale Tour of South America”, and even a session on how to make honey wine–better known as “mead” to connoisseurs!
It’s all set to happen in Costa Mesa, the first weekend in October, as the Patchwork Show Modern Handmade Festival serves up its “Edible Edition”!
According to their Facebook page, this particular Patchwork incarnation incorporates all the things that normally make a Patchwork Festival fun: live music, gifted artisans showcasing their work, an outdoor venue with great food and free admission.
What’s different this time, is that they’ll have more than 30 DIY-type activities: lectures, demos and hands-on workshops!
Their “Edible Edition” page says that, if you walk up to a table at the time a free workshop’s scheduled, an instructor will take you through the steps of making a simple craft or food item–such as food mosaics or those pickles! (You may want to show up early, however. Unless I miss my guess, these are going to be popular.) Also available are coffee workshops (there is a charge for these), including an intriguing-sounding class on “Latte Art”!
Foodies, unite–and get ready to take notes!
The Patchwork Show Edible Edition takes place Saturday, October 5th, from 11 am to 8 pm, and Sunday, October 6th, from 11 am to 6 pm, at 3303 Hyland Avenue, south of Sunflower, in Costa Mesa.
