Basics with Henning Vagtborg | Sun. March 15,2026

Cooking Fundamentals 

Intimidated in your kitchen by anything other than the start button on your microwave? Didn’t have a Nana’s apron strings to guide you? Perhaps you’re just looking for a refresher in the basics? In this class… it’s all about the basics. We’ll do a whole menu from salad to dessert and also explore variations on each dish. From newbie’s to seasoned pros sometimes you just gotta go back to the fundamentals.

Henning Vagtborg is a professional chef with over 25 years of experience. After stints in Boston (The Summer Shack, Scampo, Brewer’s Fork) and Portland (Little Giant, Maine Craft Distilling), Henning moved back to Straw’s Farm in Newcastle with his wife and two children. On the farm he operates a farm store, selling farm-raised meats and eggs direct to customers as well as to local shops and restaurants.
