May 12: For our first class, we’ll bake up a frittata with fresh-laid eggs from the garden’s chickens, filling it with baby spinach leaves, kale and other veggies just emerging in the garden. We’ll also make flaky, herbed buttermilk biscuits and a salad with new lettuces, mache and edible flowers. Also in the plans is a quick kimchi with an early Asian cabbage. Rhubarb, spring’s first fruit (really a vegetable) will be for dessert.

Miriam Rubin was the first woman to work in the kitchens of New York City’s famed Four Seasons Restaurant.

For many years she wrote the “Miriam’s Garden” column for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. A contributor to Edible Berkshires, her work has appeared in many other publications including Organic Gardening. She and her husband, the artist David J. Lesako, live in Ghent, N.Y.
