# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Cooking with Chef Kaytie Bowman: Field to Fork – Reimagining Lavender in the Kitchen
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 08 Jul, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Wed, 08 Jul, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Most people have tasted lavender done wrong. Too strong, too floral, too much like something that belongs in a bath rather than on a plate. This class exists to change that.

At Uncommon Ranch we grow lavender varieties selected specifically for the kitchen, low in camphor, complex in flavor, and worlds away from the soap dish. Our Royal Velvet, Munstead and Melissa varieties are perfectly balanced for cooking, earthy, herbal, and beautifully restrained. Our pink variety is actually peppery. Once you taste the difference, you can’t go back.

In this hands-on class Chef Kaytie Bowman  will guide you through four completely different ways to cook with lavender. Lavender ricotta sourdough toast, Provençal chicken with olives, tarragon and herbs de Provence, a lavender infused oil and chive vinegar dressing, and lemon lavender poppyseed muffins. Every dish teaches a different technique. Every bite changes the way you think about this herb.

Lavender has been used for centuries for its calming, restorative properties. This menu honors that. Whole ingredients, fresh herbs, good olive oil, real food that nourishes as much as it satisfies. Cooking that is genuinely good for you, eaten in the middle of a blooming lavender field.
