WILD THINGS: Preserving Culture – Tasting the Taiga.A talk, tasting, and book signing.

Join The Dishing x Creative Legion for a deliciously thought-provoking evening exploring how foraged botanicals and funky ferments preserve culture and amplify taste.

In conversation, acclaimed cookbook author and food scholar Darra Goldstein and Siberian chef Vlad Larvin of Hudson’s Taiga restaurant will dive into the sensory traditions of the Russian taiga sharing stories and flavors that connect place, culture, and taste with the Hudson Valley.

This immersive talk includes:

• A fruit-infused spirit or beet kvass welcome drink

• A tasting of traditional Russian preserved foods

• Russian fresh berry and herbal teas

Darra will be signing copies of her books Beyond the North Wind and Preserved Condiments and Preserved Vegetables. Chef Vlad will have samples of his botanical skincare line, Sirko.

Tickets: $30. Books available for purchase at the event.
