POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I am BEYOND excited to be welcoming David Bauer from @farmandsparrow for TWO very special cooking class lunches at the Barn! 🌾🌽🥖

November 13th Heirloom Corn Cookery 11a-3p
November 20th Baking with Stoneground Flour

Space is very limited and if you care about cooking with beautiful local ingredients and supporting small farms then you don’t want to miss this.

* you don’t need to be a skilled baker to enjoy, learn and be inspired by David’s story + life-changing ingredients!

We’ll be pouring @riseoverrunwines from @lapostenc (owned by David’s super cool wife, Kate!)

Summer @thebarnnc 🫐🌞🌽🍅🍞

I always say the most beautiful food can only be made with the most beautiful ingredients. Take a little extra time to search out things grown or produced locally. (It ain’t at ingles, I assure you!) By small farms. By real people. It’s the time of year here in the mountains where gorgeous produce is abundant. See below for where I go weekly:

Cashiers:
Wednesday market at the village green 11a

Franklin:
@3barnfarms Farm Stand open daily ❤️
Osage Farm Stand (actually in Dillard) for silver queen corn, peaches and field peas

Asheville:
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday tailgate markets
State Farmers Market daily
@oldworldlevain bakery
@chopshopbutchery gorgeous local beef + butchers ❤️ next level homemade hot dogs, ground beef that will blow ur mind, insane seafood

Sylva:
Saturday farmers market

I’m constantly reminded of what an amazing place we live in. A walk in the woods, or even just along the driveway, we find beautiful edible wild herbs, greens, flowers, mushrooms, truffles. One of my favorite days of the year, when Rebecca @bloodandspicebush visits, I have a renewed sense of wonder for this place, a desire to slow down, see the incredible nature that surrounds us, learn more about these amazing plants, this delicious source of food that is all around us. That can actually mend us.

Slow down. Look under your feet. Learn something new everyday. We live in heaven. ⛰️🌿🪾🌳🌼 taken in The Barn by @thebarnnc

Lately @thebarnnc

Spring came and went quickly this year. Strawberries, asparagus and wild greens always feeling like they’re never here quite long enough. But then there are the first tomatoes which soothe the loss.

What are y’all cooking?

1. Late spring fruits, rosé poached with lemon granita
2. Since Provence, I’m olive tapenade obsessed. Are u?
3. So many artichokes this year. Look for the ones from Castroville, CA.
4. All the springy things stewed with chicken
5. Trout deviled eggs, smoked + w/caviar of course
6. Honeyed carrots forevah
7. Gramma’s strawberry pavlova by @thebarnnc

Spring is springing! Who’s excited? A friend brought me some beautiful SC strawberries today and I can’t wait to make something with them (if I can resist simply eating them straight from the basket!)

🍓❤️🍓

Happy (almost) spring! I can feel the changes coming - birds are chirping, little green shoots and daffodils poking out, only a couple of weeks until the farmers markets open! We’re working hard on re-stocking the shop with so many yummy wines and essential cooking tools and ingredients! I’m also posting amazing classes, tastings and events to La Poste’s website!

Most importantly, now!!, is the time to begin saving your desired dates for private group cooking classes, pizza parties, wine tastings + bocce parties!

Check out the website for info www.lapostenc.com or email me for details at lapostewineshop@gmail.com

We can’t wait to help you make amazing memories in the mountains this year! 🌞🍷🍕🍾⛱️👩🏼‍🍳❤️ taken in Cashiers, North Carolina by @thebarnnc

So you wanna learn to cook? Or, maybe you simply wish to be a better cook?! Well, I have a cooking class series for YOU!

Be a Better Cook: a four day series @thebarnnc
May 12-15, 10a-3p daily
sign up: www.thebarnnc.com (only 6 spots available)

This four day series will deep dive into many lessons that you can easily implement into your daily cooking/dining routines to simply make your food more delicious! We will begin with some of the most basic cooking skills and lessons and work our way up to some of the more challenging tasks. The goal is to finish these four days with a greater knowledge of how to cook more intuitively, with the seasons, while using the ingredients that you may already have to create vibrant, creative foods for you, your family and even for entertaining.

We will cover basic knife skills, essential tools, how and where to procure ingredients and products, modern sauces, flavor building blocks, plating techniques, simple baking projects, meat and veggie cookery, and so much more.

A lunch of what we’ve prepared each day will be enjoyed in the Barn dining room, paired with wines from La Poste, of course!

This is a smaller, more intensive learning experience than a typical Barn class: there will be more hands-on tasks, more detailed discussions, and more practical lessons that - if followed - guarantee to elevate even the simplest dishes and that will last you your lifetime. Absolute beginner skill levels are more than welcome!

Attendees will take home recipes, guides, templates, and even some of my essential kitchen gadgets!

I hope you’ll join me, Kristin taken in The Barn by @thebarnnc
