Evan Mallet is a James Beard semi-finalist for Best Chef in the Northeast. Based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Evan will bring the regional cooking sensibilities he has formed at his bistro and wine bar, Black Trumpet, to the Hudson Valley. He will even be foraging some of the meal locally-making it a special dinner not to be missed. Director of Glynwood's Farm Lynda Prim will share some words on biodiversity and soil health and resilience in agriculture as it relates to regional cuisine, as well.
