We will then return to Long Acre House where special guest Barbara Hanley of Shy Brothers Farm, producers of Hannahbells Artisinal Cheeses, will teach us how this very French style cheese is made here in Westport, MA.
Chef Beth Welker of Love at First Bite Creative Catering, Mansfield, MA and Paul Warrender, Director of Dining Services at Providence College have created a menu featuring Hannahbells Cheeses and locally grown and produced ingredients. The appetizer course will be a cooking demonstration to show the ease with which cheese can be incorporated into a dish.
