Herbalist David LaLuzerne and Village of Egg Harbor Host Forage & Feast: Dandelion Dinner

May 12, 2022 by Laurel Ciohon

Proceeds benefit Village of Egg Harbor’s Green Tier Initiatives

Egg Harbor, Wis. (May 12, 2022) – As a cap off to Village of Egg Harbor’s No Mow May, you are invited to join Herbalist, David LaLuzerne for a delicious event to celebrate the humble dandelion. Often viewed as a pesky weed, the dandelion is chock full of vitamins and minerals.

A five-course meal, attendees will enjoy hors d’oeuvres, soup, quiche, greens, and dessert – with dandelion at the center of each dish. The meal will be accompanied by dandelion wine, tea and a side of dandelion lore.

The event, which has happened just three times in Door County, will have an added element for foraging enthusiasts and home cooks. A limited number of guests will be invited to participate in the foraging and have a hands-on cooking experience guided by LaLuzerne on June 1. They will be invited back the following day to wrap up the workshop. That night to enjoy the fruits of their labor and take in the presentation.

Those who wish to just experience the dinner are able to purchase a dinner-only ticket.

Menu includes:

  • Dandelion pesto on cracker with smoked fish served with dandelion wine
  • Ramp and potato Soup
  • Dandelion quiche with bacon
